Can Juvederm Make Your Eye Bags More Droopy?

I had Juvederm around a month and a half ago, i had half what they recommended being one injection for both eye trough area, and a little in the cheeks. It looked good for two weeks then it seemed like its wearing off but my eye bags look lower than before, and the lines around my nose and mouth look deeper as if the skin has dropped down that are more. Is it possible for Juvederm to weigh down the skin or stretch it, making your skin look more droopy after it wears off than before you had it?

Lastly, injections of hyaluronidase will dissolve the Juvederm and the swelling will resolve. Juvederm will not cause any permanent stretching of your skin... more

Juvederm and eyelid fullness

Injectible fillers such as juvederm can be used to camouflage lower eyelid fullness. This is accomplished when your surgeon injects the filler into the tear trough area, which is essentially the hollow that exists below the lower eyelid. It is a very precise injection that requires a detailed understanding of eyelid anatomy and a sophisticated injection technique. I have seen patients who have experienced increased fullness of the lower eyelid when the filler is injected... more
