Rule Out Allergy

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Juvederm left dark circles under eyes worse

Hello, I am a 20 year old male. I have had bad dark circles under my eyes ever since I was very young. After wasting tons of money on useless creams and make up. I decided to get juvederm injections to fill the area because the doctor told me it was due to deep set eyes and that the bluish black i was seeing was actually a muscle because of thin skin. However I was extremely bruised after the treatment and swollen, but I was assured this would dissapear. 3 months later and the dark circles not only look worse than they did before the juvederm, I now have slight bags under my eyes. How do I fix this nightmare?

Hi AJC,

Dark circles under the eyelids are one of the most bothersome as well as difficult complaints to correct.  Once you bruised under your lower lid, it is not surprising that the circles got darker from hemoglobin breakdown.  The slight bags should dissapear in time as the Juviderm wears off. 

At 20 years old, enjoy your youth, most likely your dark circles are hereditary or due to allergies.  You can't change your genes, but make sure that you are not suffering from "allergic" shiners.  Good luck and be well.
