Help Juvaderm Injections Ruined my Eyes!

Has it gotten any better yet? Is it the filler that looks bad or the bruises? You can get the filler out. There have been a huge amount of mistakes under eyes. I never got my money back. I have spent a fortune trying to fix it. Hope you are better now.

No, Its worse than ever.. The black eye went away, but Its like I dont have any lower lid and I can barely hold my eyes open cause they are puffing shut. Its been 15 months and NO better. I am afraid for anyone to try injecting anything becasue of the horribler black eye I got before!

Have you continued to have botox for the past 15 months?

Yes, I still get my regular botox every 6 months like usual. and my lip and nasolabial fillers, Ive gotten those for years with no ill effects.(except the last time when I had some horribly administered lidocain, BUT I wont go into that now!) I went to another PS to ask abut my eyes and he says he would NEVER do the fillers -under -eyes thing because its way too hard to do it right. He thought these under eye bags would go away too.. but they havent! I have contacted a lawyer when I started to think aboout how depressed Ive been over my apperance for the past 15 months. I seriously need sunglasses all the time.

You can request that a qualified injector inject Hyaluronidase into that area. This product will metabolize the product within 24-48 hours.

You only had a year to sue him, why did you not do that? Did you report him to the AMA and your states malpractice board? There were steps, however I have never seen anything that awful, I have no idea if he hit a blood vessel and you are allergic to the juvederm which may have exacerbated the initial problem. I am so sorry but I would stand with before and after photos infront of his medical offices, I am serious - make him pay you to leave by getting you to a board certified surgeon probably the best place to start is a maxiofacial reconstructionist. I am truly sorry -

obviously the hematoma caused by wrong injection technique. it's not juvederm, cause if that was that, there would be 2 hematomas, from both sides. so obviously this is your doctor's injection mistake.

I too had Juverderm 8 months ago under both eyes. I look terrible.I havr to large sacks that are a gray discoloration. I went back to the Doctor three times, he gave me back my money and says he has no idea how to help me. I could cry, people ask me all the time if I'm not feeling well. I can't find a Plastic Surgeon in the area that will tell me what happened or what it will take to fix it. No one wants to get involved. Please...help me. I live in upstate NY but will travel.

How much did he put in? It is so sad, there are the doctors on TV telling us with the recent craze of patients now injecting ourselves saying "don't do it yourself! Get a doctor!" but going on this website, you see how many faces these "doctors" mess up. I have been injecting my own face now for about a year with infinitely better results! (I order my Juve from international Allergan distributor, not unverified websites.) I inject myself not to save money, but to look good. The first four doctors I went to messed up my face!

This is really an awful situation. Any improvement?

Hi psoldoff;

Could you find a solution? How are you now?

I did juverderm 2 months ago under my eyes, and now I feel a bit scared because every morning I wake up with bags under my eyes. Thanks for your time

Hi Luisa,
I'm sorry to have bad news, but my eyes never got better! Maybe a teeny bit, and some days are better than others, but I think the lymph glands in my eyes got ruined by the procedure and no longer drain properly. I have learned to live with it HATE it. Makes me sad every time I think of it, that I wasn't warned that this could happen and Dr so frivolous and uncaring. He made a joke, "wow, looks like I could pop that with a pin!" =((( I have seen people end up with various results after experiencing this problem, so don't let me dishearten you. But my experience has been bad. It's been nearly 3 years now.. (could it be 4?? maybe..) Keep me updated on how you do! Thx, Pam

Just the last question. At the time I didn't get too much problems at all, but now I can feel that every morning I wake up with these bags under my eyes.

You felt problems inmediatly after injectionright? Or the problems became later? Because I think that the doctor made it correctly, I din't have infection or black eye at all, but now, 2 months later I feel that every morning I have this problem and I'm a bit scared. I would like to now if you had problems at first or months later. Thanks for your time

Hello Psoldoff,

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I stumbled across these posts by accident but felt the need to mention something to you. Have you ever considered trying out a lymphatic drainage massage? There are holistic practitioners who specialize in this sort of thing. I don't know if it will help you but it is worth a try. I had some residual swelling from a tummy tuck that just wouldn't go away. We are talking 2 years post op. My PS (who I LOVE)told me that surgery can drastically slow down the lymph system. He recommended a lymphatic drainage massage. I found someone and it is making a world of difference in my abdominal swelling. Anyway, I hope this helps!!!

As a side note, I HAVE had filler in my tear troughs done many times. My dr prefers Perlane for under eyes. She has done this to me about three or four times now and each time it has turned out beautifully. She does not like juve for under eyes because she feels it turns out too lumpy and unnatural looking. I'm sorry you had this experience but you should really consider lymphatic drainage as an option.

Good Luck to you!!!!!
