Why Are my Eye Tear Trough Worse Than It Was Before I Got Juvederm?
I got juvaderm fillers 2 1/2 weeks ago and it has left me looking hideous. I now have large bags under my eyes where I didn't have this before. My eye trough is bruised and swollen and bumpy and I have hematoma under my right eye. It was supposed to fill in only the tear trough. Can you tell me what i can do.

Why are my tear troughs worse after Juvederm treatment?
Correction of tear troughs is for advanced injectors only. If done properly you should not look worse instead of better. While it is common to have some swelling and occasionally bruising, it sounds like you may be worse than usual. At 2 1/2 weeks I think you should expect to see better results. If not, see your doctor or seek a second opinion. It may need to be dissolved. I have found Restylane or Belotero is a better choice for tear troughs because they are softer and lay...

Juvederm Works Well For Tear Troughs and Hollows Under The Eyes
There are several possible explanations when swelling is quite pronounced after a filler treatment for the tear troughs, or if bags appear or have worsened under the eyes following treatment. Bruising and swelling are not uncommon from the injection process alone. After all, we see bruises following simple blood drawing procedures in which no material is injected. It is something that has to be expected whenever a needle punctures the skin.
If bruising or swelling (and tenderness and...

Two possibilities
What you are describing may be caused by either the swelling and bruising that you describe, in which case you should give it a couple more weeks time; or problems with injection technique. What I mean by that is, that either too much product was used for you, or it was placed too superficially in you eyelid/cheek junction. This can be removed by injecting hyaluronidase, an enzyme that will dissolve the filler.
If you are not happy with your surgeon, seek a second opinion.

Juvedern in the tear trough area
From your description, it sounds like much of your current situation is related to bruising and swelling rather than the product. Some simple measures that may help include sleeping with the head elevated, gentle massage to the area, and restriction of salt in your diet.
If the problem persists it may be necessary to reverse the effects with the injection of hyaluronidase, which melts the filler, but it is better to give things more time if at all possible.

Swelling after juvederm
It sounds like you still have some bruising and swelling going on so sit tight and be patient. If you look worse in morning, sleep with your head elevated. If you still feel swollen after bruising gone, see you doctor. Worse comes to worse can reverse.

Tear trough issue
You may be still be bruised so I would give it some time to settle down. AS the products also retain water, it may make some swelling worse for a while.

Juvederm Treatment in the Tear Trough Area
It is possible that you still have residual bruising and swelling from the treatment itself. If so, this should resolve shortly. The lower eyelid area is very delicate and any bruising in that area tends to persist for a while. If the bumps persist longer than another week or so, it is probably due to the Juvederm itself. This can be treated with Hyaluronidase, a material used to dissolve the Juvederm. Please return to your injector for...

Juvederm treatment of tear trough
It is possible that the Juvederm injection has resulted in some untoward consequences. If you have swelling and bruising as a result of the trauma of your injection, then these will resolve with time. Often time resolves other issues but I would suggest you follow up with your physician to determine what options you have.
