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?
Answer: Special skills required for Juvederm tear trough injections Kimber, I believe that injections of Juvederm into the tear trough requires special skills to avoid complications. It is possible that the Juvederm was injected into the peri-septal space of your right eye, creating the swelling under your eye. I would start with a 6 day course of methylprednisolone to treat the swelling. If there is still significant swelling one week after your Juvederm injection, I would recommend a dilute injection of hyaluronidase into the right side bag.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Avoiding Bruising with Fillers In the future, the best way to minimize bruising - especially for sensitive areas like lips or under the eyes, is to avoid medications such as aspirin, Ibuprofen ( Motrin and Advil) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as Alleve or Naprosyn . Other causes of bleeding and bruising tendencies are green tea, flax seed oil, Omega -3s and alcohol or caffeine intake the day before your treatment! Arnica oral tablets are an easy remedy to reduce the degree and length of time of bruising and can be taken 3 -5 days following the treatment.#bruisingafterinjections #juvedermRestylanebruising #avoidbruising

Answer: Bruising related to injection technique, and should resolve soon... It’s unusual for patients to develop significant bruising and swelling following the use of injectable fillers. Never the less, this complication may occasionally occur following these injections. Bleeding, bruising and swelling aren’t usually related to the filler material, but instead are related to the injection technique and the patients clotting mechanism.When this situation arises, bruising and swelling usually resolve in 7 to 10 days but may take as long as three weeks to completely resolve. With an important social engagement on the horizon this may not be enough time for this problem to resolve. Under these circumstances, anything that minimizes the inflammatory response might speed the process. Ice and steroid treatments might be helpful for this reason.It’s important to discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon. It’s also important to understand that the odds are still in your favor and that with appropriate intervention your social plans won’t be disrupted.

Answer: Swelling The area under the eyes is delicate, and generally swelling and puffiness can last a little longer than other areas. Give it a good two weeks before you judge your results.

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm
Typically, swelling caused by Juvederm should resolve in seven days. In rare instances especially when bruising has occurred the swelling could take 4-6 weeks to completely resolve. A small amount of puffiness or mild swelling for a day or two is normal. If the patient experience swelling at the injection site, an ice pack may be applied for a brief period. The patient should see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas. However, the filler can be dissolved with the hyaluronidase enzyme, which I would recommend for you to do.
