Puffy eyes after Juvederm injections in under eye hollows

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that is quite soft and well-tolerated in many clinical situations. One consideration in the setting of puffiness after injection is that this type of filler is hydrophillic, meaning it attracts water. For a few days, this can be seen as swelling or puffiness, which... more

It sounds like you now have 2 problems: your original hollows and a new deformity caused either by too much Juvederm or by incorrectly injected Juvederm. I think you need to deal with the Juvederm first. There is a medication called Hyaluronidase injections and these can dissolve the Juvederm. This excess... more

Injections under the eyes can and often do result in bumps or ridges. Hyaluronidase is the solution we inject to dissolve juvederm. it often takes a few sessions of injections given at 1 week apart ($150/session).

First, Juvederm absorbs water during its resorption. This may h ave translated to lower eyelid swelling.  If you truly have eye bags, then I suggest you wait to have those treated until after the Juvederm dissolves.
