Does Botox Interfere with Juvederm Dissolving?

December 25, 2011
Asked By:Mazzy123

I had Botox injections to my crows feet, bunny lines and "11's" and in the same appointment had Juvederm Ultra to fill in tear troughs. Too much filler was injected and also injected in the wrong plane and I now have bags under both eyes. My doctor wants to use vitrase to dissolve filler, however I've been reading some cases where Botox may interfere with lymphatic drainage due to the lack of muscle contraction, resulting in a worse situation. What is your advice?
