Juvederm is tricky for under eyes, but it can be done if done carefully.
Juvederm and Restylane, the hyaluronic acid fillers, can be used to fill under eye hollows, but this must be done with extreme caution. Swelling, bruising, and visible lumps or filler material are higher risk in this area than other areas of the face. If filler is injected too close to the surface in too great a volume, a blue tinge can be visible from the effect of seeing clear material through the surface of the skin. This is the Tyndall effect (a name from physics that has to do with the...

Juvederm for Bags Under the Eyes
Fillers are not used to treat true bags under the eyes but will fill the grooves at the eyelid margin which give the illusion of bags. If bags are present they are surgically removed. If I use fillers, I prefer Restylane rather Than Juvederm because Juvederm is hydrophilic meaning it absorbs tissue fluid(water), which cause more swelling after the injection.

Fillers for under eye bags
In my experience, Restylane allows better positioning of the hyaluronic acid in the hollow portions of the eyes. I have also been successful with Juvederm, but prefer Restylane.

Fillers for treating the lower eyelids
In general Juvederm tends to be more hydrophilc and draws more water to the area injected and causes swelling. In the lower eyelid the skin is very thin and the swelling or edema is noticeable even wit a small amount injected for that reason I prefer to use Restylane in that area! Some cases are more sever and have significant fat herniation and excess skin or problems with drooping of the lower eyelids and surgery is more appropriate for those patients.
Good luck !

Juvederm For Under Eye Bags
Juvederm is not always a good option under the eyes. When orbital fat is prominent, and or there is significant mid-facial descent, the results from filler will be limited and lower lid Blepharoplasty will be a better option.

Fillers for under eye bags
Fillers along the orbital rim can help camouflage some of the discrepancies between the herniated orbital fat and the rim. If the fat is prominent the best way to treat it is by removing it surgically.

Juvederm is as good as the injector.
Juvederm is as good as the injector. It does give good results if the surgeon is a good injector and does it over several times so as not to cause a lump.

Juvederm for undereye bags
Juvederm can work well for treating under eye bags in some people, but there is a limit to what can be achieved with a filler. Juvederm doesn't treat the bags themselves, but helps blend the area better with the cheek below. A board-cerified plastic surgeon would be able to help choose the right treatment for you.
