How long should swelling last after fillers to tear troughs?

The lower eyelid skin is very thin, delicate and has numerous blood vessels (veins) running through it. Bruising and swelling that can last for 2 - 3 weeks is not unlikely.

Swelling under eyes for Juvederm

This can be a common complaint following fillers under the eyes and is more prone with certain products over others. As some other plastic surgeons have noted this is a known complication of Juvederm in the lower eyelid area. The swelling can be from the product drawing in water or from blockage of lymphatic drainage or from product placed too superficially by your injector. Check back with them . It is usually very easy to tell what is happening then it can be addressed... more

Juvederm and lower eyelid swelling

This is typical of Juvederm in the lower eyelids, and that is why I abandoned using it in that area years ago.

Swelling after Juvederm in lower eyelids

Some swelling is normal in the lower eyelids after HA fillers, Juvederm or Restylane. Sometimes, this can last for several months. If the swelling is cosmetically unacceptable, options include supplementing with more fill, reversing with Hyaluronidase, or laser treatment over the skin. I would wait a week or two before considering options. Good luck!

Swelling after Juvederm injections

Swelling from Juvederm injections in the tear troughs should normally go down after a couple days. If the swelling still exists after a week or two you should go back and see your doctor.
