It's been 6 months since I received juvederm under my eyes and the cheeks. I still have blue color in the inside corner of my right eye. Also, it gets swellen several times per day, having a disformed face. It is strange because this is not hapening every day. I live in Athens - Greece and i wouls appreciate your time and advise. I am sending photos and one of them is when the swelling is very bad. Regards Sofia.
