I was injected with a juvederm/saline mixture, "to make it smoother" under my eyes. Is this okay? I'm 31.
Answer: Juvederm and Saline Yes, it is a common practice to mix Juvederm with saline for areas of thin skin, such as under the eyes. The reason for this is if too much is injected, it can give you the “tindle effect”. This means that you can see the filler through the skin, causing a blueish hue. Also, the proteins in juvederm take on more water, so there’s a higher chance of swelling. In the under eyes you want to be careful not to inject too much as it will cause puffiness.

Answer: Many ways to make eyes look beautiful Cosmetic treatments really depend on each patient and each doctor doing the procedure. In some cases, lighter filler is needed to do the best job. In some cases, that means mixing the filler with sterile saline to make it flow smoother and distribute more evenly. I must say, though, that this practice should be reserved for the en experienced injector.i hope that helps

Answer: Diluting Juvederm under the Eyes Hi NC. Yes, it is possible to do this. Normally an injector would use the technique to make the product easier to place. The thinner the product, the easier it is to inject. Normally the product would not last as long if it has been diluted like this, but it's certainly an option to do it this way. We prefer Restylane or Belotero under the eyes because they are easy to place and last up to 12 months. To see examples of Irvine, CA patients that have been injected under the eyes with Restylane in our Orange, CA office, click on the link below.

Answer: Filler Under The Eyes, Best Injected With Cannulas Fillers can be diluted with saline or lidocaine prior to injection. It is not customary but there are many physicians who do it. I often use restylane or belotero in this area over juvederm, as they swell less which is why i wouldnt mix with saline as it would likely cause the juvederm to swell more. But again, nothing improper was done. you should trust you doctor and go to someone who uses cannulas as they cause less bruising and swelling. Best, Dr. Emer.
