“Juvederm nightmare”
Juvederm: NOT worth it
Pain: Mild
This is a total nightmare, I would not recommend it to anyone. Juvederm under eyes are a big mistake!!
A month ago,I had Juvederm injected under my eyes.I simply wented to take away some fine lines under my eyes, so my Dr. said Juvederm works good. Trusting him was a big mistake! He opened up one box of Juvederm &injected me into the right eye. The remainder of that shot was injected into the left eye.
He said,"OOPS"and I was alarmed! What's wrong I said? Oh,I ran out of the product, I have to open up another box, which will cost you $350 more!! Well,what are my choices? To complete and balance both eyes, I had to agree with it. He charged me $450 for the 1st box,and the total I paid was $900. I beleive he did that for his financial gain.
After he was done, I looked in the mirror and saw both eyes were swellen and they were puffy. My eye size decrease drastically!No patient follow up was done by the Dr. or his office. For few days,my eyes were brused,puffy and some part of the left eye was like a double bag under it.
Now,after 4 weeks,my eyes look awful. Juvederm can not be reversed!I had another Dr. to look at it, he told me not to touch it, be patient and wait it out! I did this to look good for my September wedding, now I have to postpone this for another year due to this nightmare. I'm not sure,this will be over after my body obserb the product in 6-9 months! Has anyone had a nightmare like mine and has been able to fix the problem? Please let me know.
Ladies please be careful, there are lots of scams out there, but months of looking in the mirrors and regreting what you have done!!

Hi, I feel for you. Because your face is your personality! If you feel uncomfortable it is next to impossible to get away from this new unwanted personality. I too had juvederm injected into what I believe was the fold around my eye, but it must have been above the fold because it created bags under my eyes giving me a haggard, tired look. Prior to the injection of juvederm I never had bags under my eyes. Additionally, the juvederm injected in the nasolabial folds on both sides of my face was totally ineffective. Given the character of the doctor I doubt that she actually put any juvederm in the syringe! That way she got away with a $900.00 steal! I ended up looking worse upon leaving than I did before I had the procedure done! There was no followup, no inquiries as to how I was doing. An absolutely cold dismissal. Later, when I tried to reach her to discuss the outcome of this procedure. I was informed it would cost me an additonal $100.00 just to talk with her. So, although $900.00 was not easy to come by for me. It was an easy steal for her. This unfulfilling experience was compounded by the fact that I shall have to live with the results. I work in law enforcement and they thought that I had been victim of domestic violence. I had to say it was an allergic reaction to bad food. They were skeptical. I work the graveyard shift. But it was never connected to any outward appearance, now people say I look tired all the time. I now have the hound dog look because of the bags under my eyes. Some doctors have no compassion or feel no moral responsibility to their patients. Money is their only concern!
