Juvederm for hollows under eyes

You should return to the doctor for assessment. The Juvederm may need to be dissolved. If he does not offer this treatment, please find a specialist who does. Restylane is an appropriate filler for the hollows.

Juvederm and Tear Trough Bags

Juvederm and tear trough bags may be due to too much product, swelling, too superficial an injection, etc. Use hyaluridonase to degrade the filler in a couple of weeks, if necessary. More than one round of hyaluronidase may be necessary. After the bags have resolved, you may want to consider Restylane for volume or Belotero for fine lines in that area.

Juvederm Ultra is safer under eyes.

Hi. Anyway, so what do you do now. Also one syringe in each eye is a lot. Wait a couple of weeks, but you may need the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase.

Juvederm under the eyes is too thick!

I personally don't like Juvederm under the eyes and never use it. I much prefer using either Restylane or Boletero for the delicate under eye area. Please return to your treating physician and ask them to inject Vitrase to dissolve the thick filler which is not meant for that area.

Juvederm ultra plus for under eyes?

Juvederm ultra or restylane are better in my opinoin because they are smaller molecule products and more malleable. The ultra plus may be too thick and cause alot more water retention.

Bags Under Eyes...

You can get it dissolved. Vitrase is an enzyme that will remove the Juvederm from where it is injected within the first 24 hours. Juvederm Ultra Plus is too thick for this area. Consider Restylane for your next injections under your eyes. Dr. Grant Stevens Marina Plastic Surgery Associates Marina del Rey, CA The Institute

Juvederm under eyes

Personally, regardless of whether Juvederm Ultra or Juvederm Ultra Plus is used, I don't like it under the eyes. The substance itself, either one, is a translucent color and can cause the Tyndall Effect if not injected deeply. Additionally under the eyes requires a very specific injection technique so if you've had it before and liked it, it could be the new physician's technique rather than what was actually injected. I would return to your injector for an evaluation, and possibly some... more

Bags under eyes after Juvederm

Dear Sunflower, From your post, it is not clear how long ago the most recent injection of Juvederm Ultra Plus was under your eyes. If it was within the last 2-3 weeks or so, some of what you see may still be swelling from the injection and may continue to improve on it's own with time. If it has been longer than that, then it is possible that you may be over-filled. Juvederm Ultra Plus may be ok for thicker skinned patients with fuller... more

Filler under the eyes

What you are describing is a documented rare "complication" of fillers under the eyes. It is not clear whether the little sacs form from improper injection technique or migration of the product into little pockets. It will eventually resolve, but you could try to inject some hyaluronidase into the area to try to dissolve the product.

Juvederm Ultra Plus under eyes, now puffy bags?

Juvederm Ultra Plus is thicker than Juvederm Ultra and probably not the best choice for that area since the skin is very thin and Juvederm holds water so everything shows. At this point you should probably return to your provider to be evaluated. They may want to dissolve some of the product with Hyaluronidase.

I tried having mine dissolved four times and it didnt work, so at least the new doctors you have seen are being honest with you. It is awful that we paid to make ourselves look worse and now are continuing to paying to go back to the way we were. Ive actually spent a lot more money trying to fix this then i spent on the actual juverderm. like you, i the purchased juvederm on a special and was forced to have two vials used where i only needed one of regular juvederm. Juvederm plus lasts a long time and when injected improperly even longer. The inconsistent swelling has been even more of a nightmare! The only good that has come from this is that I've been forced to drink more water and eat less processed food as that seems to reduce the volume of swelling. I had a doctor recommend taking an antihistimine, but I haven't tried that. Good luck with this mess! I hope we both look better soon!

It's Sunflower and I was ask when I had my eyes done in Dec.28.2012, (1) syringe under each eye of JUVÉDERM® Ultra and my eyes are still the same? Terrible. I have been to 2 P.S. and they said do not use the hyauronedase because it may be hard to find the pockets? Were it was hollow I now have full bags under my eyes? What a P.S. I think its terrable to pay for this too.

Hi ALL, This is Sunflower, I when to see my plastic surgeon today and I wanted the hyaluronidase injections today and he said he would have to order it! I am not happy at all !!! He said that if he does this he would NOT injections under my eyes again with another filler? So all the money I paid for this is gone $1200.00 Just gone!!! This is NOT fair. I told him I wanted just 1/2 under each eye JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS Not THE whole one ! Just not fair at all to me?

Thank you for answeing , I work up this morning and my eys are still the same! I have no idea why this doctor would use (1) syringeunder each eye of JUVÉDERM® Ultra 2 syringes of JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus under my eyes for hollow eyes , I told him I only had JUVÉDERM 1/2 each time and that was last year and the year before and it was 1/2 each eye? He said i needed more, I dont thing so . I thing because I was buying on sale price and I was asking to save one and he did not want to and in fact did not really did not want to give me the sale price only did because I gotten the price somewere else! When he just did the line on the sides of my mouth he only use 1JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus ?

sunflower68 23 Jan 2013

Thank you for answering and I think you maybe right! I am not going to have anything more done right now, I am going to wait this out for a few more weeks I am scared!

sunflower68 23 Jan 2013

I do NOT think I have the Tyndall Effect at ALL. Some patients develop bruising which can last months! I have bruising? It still hurt to the touch? Also the JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS I feel was too much, like I said before I only had 2 times before 1/2 of just plain JUVÉDERM under each eye not a full unit under each eye! I am too scare right now to do anything to it! As he said to me there can be more problems? Also I did notice he did do the injections a lot Different than the other P.S. all over my face?

sunflower68 23 Jan 2013

Thank you so much for answering me ~ I had it done in December Just Before Christmas and Like i just wrote to the other doctor, I still have blue bruises marks from December but never any needles marks at all, Don’t understand the Bruise marks?

I have NO needles marks from yesterday , NO black and blue from JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS or the Botox and I am older! thak you all so very much for answering me because I dont know what to do? Be healthy , Hugs

Sorry you're going through this as well. I'm having a similar problem from two syringes of juvederm plus. It's awful! I hope you're looking and feeling better now. My issues have been going on for almost 7 months.
