“Help Juvaderm Injections Ruined my Eyes!”
I had Juvaderm injected under my eyes to try to get rid of a sunken look. Not only did I get a black eye that lasted 5 months, now both my eyes are horribly puffy/baggy looking. WAY worse looking and adds years to my age.
After hitting a bloodvessel in one of my eyes, the doctor left the room never to return. Left the nurse to deal with it. I asked him if anything could happen that would leave my eyes messed up looking and he said "No way."
When I returned for a post treatment visit, he did offer me free facials, and botox rather than give me a refund. It was a bad experience that is still horrible.

Drs keep telling me it will go away but its been 15 months! WILL it ever get better? Or will I need corrective surgery?

4 years later, still puffy. I ruined the look of my eyes, and the function as well. DON'T INJECT YOUR EYES!!! Not enough Drs know what they are doing!!!!
This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.
This mostly sounds like damage to the lymph vessels which is resulting in chronic swelling.
I have found no records of a "Timothy Cruise" practicing medicine. Could you please post his weblink?
Additionally, "Board Certified" in anything doesn't guarantee a thing. I have been messed up by FOUR Board Certified individuals: 2 plastic surgeons and 2 dermatologists. Thus far they do not know how to property inject fillers or use vitrase. I still bear bumps and indents under and around my eyes.
