Had juvederm in hollows of the eyes from MWWC. I have pillows for hollows now and look 10 years older than I did before it was placed. They never told me the risks of this, now I am looking at spending 3400 dollars for lower eyelid surgery from the result of a 500 dollar procedure. This is the worst thing ever. I wish there was a way to get this treated without having to pay for hyaluronidaise. The horror stories have freaked me out. I cannot get a modeling gig now to save my life. Thank God for my degree! Never get this done, you will most likely regret it. A good PS will always tell you NOT to do this!

I'M FREE! Yesterday Belladerm Medspa in Maple Grove, MN dissolved my unfortunate disaster!!! I wish I would have used the hyaluronidase long ago! Over night the puffy pillows are gone! I can't say how excited I am. She stuck it once under each eye very quickly. There was some swelling and tingling last night, but what can you expect when a needle hits your face! It is gone this morning. I am the happiest person right now. Go Belladerm Medspa!!!!

Great review?

In my case the injection of a HA (not juvederm) left me with some malar mounds, actually the HA seemingly trapped some fluids there and it stayed. I started to notice it some more than a month ater the injection, at first it was ok. So keep on mind that if you might develop these malar mounds and there's seemingly no solution for it, except injecting more HA to fill it up and make it look a bit rounder. My mother has malar mounds too so I was probably likely to develop them anyway but the injections certainly worsened things.

Hi Man, thank you for answering, That is not what I have and I do have all of my papers and pictures form before. I have hollow eyes... Just 1/2 of juvederm would have be fine under each eye like also. NOT what this P.S. did.

Man on Mars_74 24 Feb 2013

Ok, so he just put too much of it ? In my case it was a sort of side effect, the hyaluronic acid "trapping" watery stuff in my tear trough. My tear troughs were hollow too and made me look gaunt, that's why I had them filled. The dermatologist asks me if eating salty staff or drinking much water makes it worse, but the truth is that I had nothing like that before. It's not disfiguring bu I'd be happier not to have that. But in your case, if that's "just" HA, wouldn you have it be reabsorbed naturally in one year's time ? Good luck.

Sorry, just seen you got rid of it. Glad to read that. You look gorgeous anyway. Take care.

I am not having a problem with eating salty BUT I dont eat that much at all ! I am going to an Ophthalmology ! So far 2 PS told me to leave it alone? So I will let you all know what the Ophthalmology say. I thnk the PS should give me back my money, he did NOT do what I ask for! I have a big problem with that!

Hello All, I just when to my second Plastic Surgeon today and they both had the same thing to say, My Plastic Surgeon injection to much in my eyes and they bother said to leave it alone do not touch it! Let it wear out! If you do not hit the right pockets you out of luck... Maybe that is why you ladies see a different and you are right back to puffy eyes? He said I am puffy but why go through a lot when I wear glasses and I am NOT that bad and can maybe something go wrong. They both said they could not believe he use this Juvederm Ultra Plus injected under the eyes it is to heavy so I reported it to Juvederm on 1 877 509 5442 I have made a case.... I will never go back to this P.S. Again....

Marta81458 21 Feb 2013

did they say how long it would take to go away?

Syndy1023 21 Feb 2013

I reported my horrible results to the makers of Juvaderm as well, and feel very fortunate to have met the right person who finally gave me the right treatment..good luck :-)

Ohwhattodo 21 Feb 2013

Thanks for the information!

sunflower68 21 Feb 2013

Hi Marta, well when I got 1/2 in each eye it stay one year so it could be up to one year or more, I think more. They both said to put cream on it and move it out , from the in sie of my eye to the out side of my eye, that is what the P.S. was doing when I was going in. But I am NOT having the hyaluronidase as he said you have to find the hit the right pockets ! I have had it ! I am real mad and mad that Juvederm Ultra Plus is letting them do this under the eyes!!! This is crazy? Plus this doctor should have know better! There is no other docto I call in CT that puts this under the eyes so why does this P.S. ?

sunflower68 20 Feb 2013

Can some one help PLEASE are you all telling me that the hyaluronidase dose NOT work ? HELP

PortiaFol 20 Feb 2013

I really don't know . I think it depends on the way the dr injects it if he uses to little or doesn't inject it in the right spot. He also told me of he used too much hylauronidase that it can cause holes . It's suppose to dissolve but it just didn't work on me it maybe dissolved a tiny bit . But like I said it may b his fault for under injecting it . Its cray . BC in the beginning they say oh yes juv is easily reversible but I've been going thru hell and back Tryna reverse it w no luck ! Ughh!!!!

Ohwhattodo 20 Feb 2013

It helped me like the first two times for only about 7 to 10 days each time then would go back to bags and dark circles . It is suppose to reverse everything but I am sure it depends on location of injections . I waslucky because I didn't have to pay for it . But I have had the hydraluronidase 4 times and my problem still exists and it has been since sept. . It is a nightmare !

sunflower68 20 Feb 2013

OMG PortiaFol so you are still having problems after the hylauronidase and it can leave holes? This is crazy ?

sunflower68 20 Feb 2013

I am real upset over all of this, I do not have to pay for the injections BUT I don understand that is does not work, I am so scared! I am slso so mad that the PS do not know what they are doing under the eyes? What is there problem?

sunflower68 20 Feb 2013

With me having my eye over filled , thisis going to been something ? I am getting from this PS that he is not crazy about doing this to me?

PortiaFol 20 Feb 2013

Yup it's crazy !!! The whole thing is depressing

PortiaFol 20 Feb 2013

Ya what I can't figure out is I too thought it was helping but it went back to the same . It's crazy idk if it's from excercise or salts in foods that cause swelling or what ?

PortiaFol 20 Feb 2013

I know my ps act like its all a big joke but really it is not . And then they lie n give hypocritical answers one day and the next . I swear my surgeon said ya its in there about the juv and then said oh no I can't tell if it's in THER . Which clearly I can BC it's hard and puffed out . Ugh !!!

PortiaFol 20 Feb 2013

Not crazy about doing the hylauronidase injections ?

Ohwhattodo 20 Feb 2013

Mine is worse when I get dehydrated . Worst in the morning and if I have wine just 1 glass! , it is so bad! I put thick cream under my eyes and try to keep that area hydrated with moisturizer all day ! Seems to help ! I drink lots of water too . I just can't believe this ! I always look tired and really old now !

Ohwhattodo 20 Feb 2013

Define holes ! Like openings in the skin? Now I am really frightened ! I can't deal with this ! I really thought time would be on my side but doubtful now !

Syndy1023 20 Feb 2013

I feel for all of you! I've been dealing with this too for over 3 years..all I can say is lower your sodium intake..drink tons of water..and if you are contemplating getting the Juvaderm dissolved, make sure they do it very slowly..my Plastic Surgeon filled, dissolved, filled again and now I've been going to a Physcians Assistant every 3 weeks to remove it little by little..it's pretty much gone, and make up takes care of the rest..your PS should NOT charge you for removing what they injected either..good luck to all :-)
