After Juvederm in tear troughs - is it swollen or too much filler?

It seems to me there is not a lot of accurate information when it comes to which filler is better for treating the tear trough. Some doctors claim Juvederm is better and swells less others suggest Restalyne is better and swells less. There is no text book correct answer as there are variables in each circumstance that effect the outcome. In my experience I swelled more with Restalyne than with Juvederm but I noticed with Juvederm a bit of it migrated from my cheek area to underneath my eye and created a similar look. A random bubble of collagen. It's time they come up with something that doesn't cause swelling or migration. The very thing that can add to hollowness in the first place - swelling. Aging, sagging cheeks and loss of fat/weight loss all contribute to the problem of hollowness. For me it was like a domino affect. I have deep set eyes, negative vector orbit, long thin and narrow nose and naturally tend to swell in this area. This led to thinning of the skin/lax loose ligaments/muscles which cause more room for water to fill up and hang out in the area and the cycle repeats and the problem worsens over time. Each time you swell it's like a stretch to the skin..in and out, in and out. If you are unhappy with results they can inject you with hylauronadaise which dissolves the injection. Again..back to square one with a now deeper tear trough. You might want to consider a tear trough implant with a mid-face lift. Find a very qualified plastic surgeon please. Ask for pictures. The are surgical, permanent results. or find a better doctor to inject you, maybe try restalyne next time. Good luck!!!

Hi Don63: I was wondering if the swelling went away and what you did to help it go down. Thank you.

hi, i had a similar look, mine were like this for months. i found doing nasal congestion (warm sterilised water with salt + skirting the water through my sinuses helped alot for lumps to go down. still abit of discoloration there but has def cleared most of it. Looks like its too much in one spot. I think juvederm they really encourage massaging it the first week. and not sleeping on it. good luck hope it clears quickly
