I Need to Find a Good Oculoplastic Surgeon in the Greater Washington DC Metropolitan Area?

I am two and a half months post juverderm filler being injected into the lower eyelids and am left with the tyndal effect and pillows under my eyes. My respected plastic surgeon has made an attempt to remove it with the enzyme but this resulted in indentations and I'm concerned about tissue damage. I am however very disappointed in the results and feel the procedure has added years to my appearance. Can you recommend anyone who is experienced in this in my area?

Juvederm under eyes in DC area

I'm sorry about your experience. What would be best is for you to use the RealSelf site to see which physicians are located close to your desired location. Then begin making phone calls and seeing who you would like to make appointments with. Describe the situation and what you are looking for, and then make a consult (or a few) and go from there.

Thank you for your advise - I am considering making an appointment to see the Surgeon again and suggest he dilutes with saline and removes the product slowly so as not to cause any further indentation. I also have a very greyish brown stain around my eyes and what looks like a bug bite which appeared a few weeks ago and hasn't gone away - Renewed thanks for the taking the time to respond, it's much appreciated.
