Juvaderm Disaster - Toronto, ON

Hyaluronidase Does Cause Permanent Tissue Loss - Toronto, ON

I agree. I do not have sagging or loose skin . Bumps under my eyes and bluish tinge underneath which has the effect of making my eyes look very drawn in and hollow

I do think the problems I am still experiencing were caused by the hyuralonidaise. But the amount used was very strong and 1500 units which is an extreme amount. This was used to prevent ulceration and potential scars. My artery was blocked and there was redness as well as I experienced numbness for about 3 months afterwards. I don't know if only the nitropaste would have worked but I guess the doctor believed this was the only way to ensure no ulcerations or scarring would occur. Unfortunately though it has permanently damaged the tissue underneath my eyes and even with makeup not able to cover up which has caused me much emotional stress and avoidance of looking people in the eyes and will not have my picture taken. I would get a second opinion. In my case, the hyuralonidasise was injected within 24 hours of the juvaderm injection.

Hi mk14,

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. Having been through something similar myself I truly understand all that you are going through. Not sure if my situation is exactly similar but i started to feel pain almost immediately after and I went back to my doctor the next day. That is when he determined that I had injections had bruised or blocked my arteries and I was in danger of losing part of my face if I did not have the hyaluronidase. It all happened very quickly and he proceed to inject a very large amount and at a higher strength then is normally used. It did get rid of the blockage of the artery but because of the amount injected it dispersed throughout my face and after a year and a half later, my eyes are not the same. I have huge indentations under my eyes and it looks like I have been punched in the eyes. The rest of my face however is pretty well back to normal (I guess the eye tissue is so thin there that is why it caused the most damage and permanent) I was told by my doctor that this would subside after a few months but to this day it is still the same and unfortunately no amount or kind of makeup can cover it. If he didn't do what he did I supposed things could have been worse, but I do question if the amount he used was actually necessary but I believe he was just as nervous as I was as I am sure he was thinking of possible lawsuits and wanted to at least ensure that if there was permanent damage it would be the lesser of two evils.

Hope things get better but it sounds very serious and not sure if the only option for you is hyaluronidase to prevent permanent scars to your face?? Did you get a second opinion?

Hi Maria,

My eyes are still hollow with very dark circles 13 later. This appears to be permanent at this point...my posts are included in this thread. I was hoping you would offer some advice. thanks

Hi Raleigh4718, Just following up to see how you are doing? Do you still have the purple //blue colour that showed up after the hyaluronidase treatments or just the saggy skin left? Its now been 10 months and I still have the purple/blue colour...

Thanks
