Bruising and swelling after Juvederm under eyes
I had Juvederm injected into the tear troughs under my eyes on Friday. She injected more into the right side (seemed like a lot more!). Today is Sunday, and the swelling has gone down a little bit, but the right eye is still extremely puffy. My eye recedes behind the puff! Help! I have an important event in 2 weeks and had no idea there was going to be such a recovery period. Doctor told me about a week for bruising. Should I go ahead and have the enzyme injected to reduce the amount under the right eye?

I had juvederm ultra put under my eyes yesterday. The one eye looks slightly crepey still. It is also bruised in the area that it looks crepey. How should this be treated? Ice? Warm compresses? Is this an instance of not enough filler being put in? I am using Vitamin K for the bruising. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
