I have new bags under both eyes after getting Juvederm 14 days ago. I want to know if these would go away soon on their own or if there is something I should do to have them removed like having the hyaluronidase put in. I just didn't know if I am reacting too early.

Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Comfortable using Hyaluronidase

Wait,massage and maybe hyaluronidase

Few options might help: 1-Massage: 14 days could be a little late to mold the injected filler but it is worth trying. 2-Hyaluronidase: Injection of the enzyme could resolve part of the filler. This has to be done very carefully. 3-Wait: Some swelling could still be there. The filler will also go away by itself after months. A thorough evaluation from your board certified plastic surgeon will help a lot. I hope that helps.

How long should I wait to correct Juvederm results?

It is kind of hard to tell based on photograph and the fact that you are wearing eyeglasses. There is some puffiness along your eyes but that is not a spot where most injectors place Juvederm. Persistent puffiness, particularly around they eyes is not uncommon with novice injectors of NASHA products. The eyes must be injected in the appropriate anatomic layer to provide rejuvenation rather than frustration. The most common application for Juvederm is along the tear trough area. Other... more

Swollen eyes after juvederm

I would give it a few weeks for the swelling to come down before I would consider any treatment. Using Hyaluronidase to dissolve the Juvederm may create additional swelling.
