Extremely Puffy Under Eyes.

How old are you? how much did you have injected?

I'm 37 now, 35 at the time. Not too sure on the amount the doctor used. I know it was one small syringe used on both eyes and frown line. That price also included botox for my forehead. I never had puffy eyes before those injections, just dark circles. I first noticed something different after a crying episode. I had this strange puffyness I had never seen before. I have heard that juvaderm may increase fluid retention in the area where it has been injected.

I have the same issue 6 months post juvaderm in tear troughs. The discoloration and puffiness is actually below the tear troughs. I am so self concious and look awful. I have been to several PS's and no one has an answer on what to do to correct it. Please let me know if you find an answer. i don't think Vitrase is the answer as it is actually getting worse as the juvaderm dissolves.

I too have been to see three PS for a consult and the only answers I got were that I needed to have some type of eye surgery. The last visit I went to I bought a $65 eye cream. The Dr told me to gently massage under my eyes each night to help break down the remaining Juvaderm. I also did this for about a month with no results. I guess that the Juvaderm tends to just sit under the eye because of the lack of muscle and movement in that area. Well one day I was looking for an answer to my problem AGAIN and I read something about anti wrinkle/under eye creams and how they work to rehydrate the area where they are applied. I thought well, we do know that Juvaderm causes fluid retention in the areas where it was injected, could these same areas retain fluid through applying a hydrating eye cream? I wish I could remember where I saw this, but anyway it was suggested to STOP applying under eye creams. I thought, WOW that might work. Well I have not used under eye cream for about a month and my eyes look allot better. I also have been making sure to only get 7 1/2 to 8 hours of sleep at night . I notice that if I sleep more that that they will puff back up. I am still sleeping with 3 pillows and mostly on my back, so it's not completely back to normal, but there is a big change in the look of my eyes. Please let me know if you decide to try this and if it works for you too. I would love to know if this is the answer or is it just a coincidence.

Have you had botox in bunny lines and crows feet (either at the same time as the juvederm or after the juvederm)?
