Juvederm for Tear Trough - Swelling or Too Much Product? (photo)
3 days ago I had Juvederm injected in the tear trough area for both eyes. The PS used half a syringe on each side. I did not experience any bruising. However, on the left side of my face (my left, your right) I cannot tell if the product was placed too high or too much or it is just swelling? The other side (my right, your left) looks like not enough product was used. It looks uneven to me. Is this normal? Is it swelling or the product? Am I being impatient or should I go back to my PS?

Swelling under eyes after juvederm injections
Juvederm injections can cause swelling for up to a week. If it hasn't gone down by then and you are still unhappy with the results, you can go back to your physician to get it dissolved with a few hyaluronidase injections. A better filler for under the eyes is restylane. It is also a hyaluronic acid, however it absorbs less water than juvederm and so is less likely to produce puffiness or small pockets of water.

Juvederm for tear troughs
Juvederm absorbs water from your skin and may result in puffiness for the first 2 weeks. You may also have some swelling from the injections. Wait 2 weeks and if there is still too much fullness or unevenness, return to your PS for an adjustment. Too much Juvederm can be dissolved.

?Swelling with Juvederm
Brandon, This might be swelling as it has only been three days. Give this a chance to settle in and see how you are in two weeks. Sleep on three pillows to keep head elevated. Also, if it is worse when you wake up, it is probably swelling.

Swelling in tear troughs after Juvederm 3 days ago
Unfortunately swelling is very common after Juvederm. The amount of product used ( 1 syringe divided between both eyes) is not very much product so I doubt you were given too much. The placement is more the question, but it is too soon to know and since you don't have "before and after" photos it makes it more difficult to tell what changes occurred. Sometimes is could mean adding more product vs taking it out!

Too much juvederm perhaps, or placement, or just swelling
I would wait 2 weeks before deciding & determining whether the amount of filler was too much or misplaced. There can be swelling and bruising which masks the final result, so be patient and wait 2 weeks. If at that point you're not happy, you can dissolve some or all of the filler with hyaluronidase.
