was interested to read this becasue mine has lasted a long time too - I'm not complaining! I did think it was my imagination though as in the lips it's only supposed to be six months but mine is over a year. It's always slightly bigger first thing in the morning too. does anyone else find this? I had juvederm in cheks too and that has lasted more than a year, although I think the doctor did overfill slightly at the time.

I think you should expect it to last longer than a month! I'd go back and ask for a top up for free if they'd quoted you a price and result. I had Juvederm first done in 2008 and was very impressed, results have always seemed to last longer than a year (and I was sceptical of this claim by the manufacturers). I've had it 3 times in the same area and I have never had the lines back in the way they were.

I had hyfracation treatment for several syringoma under one eye. The results are not good and if I could turn back time I would. I now have a very noticible scar under my eye as well as syringomas that just come back up, in addition a swelling of my eye caused skin stretching and resulted in a large wrikle under my eye. All in all it couldn't have been much worse! And I went ot a consultant dermatologist at a private hospital so it wasn't backstreet treatment. The result has been very damaging to my confidence. I just think before you consider treatment you know that there might be negative outcomes.

Thanks to the doctor for answering. unfortunately I have a scar after the treatment as well as remainig syringomas (I went to a private dermatologist for hyfracation) so I actually wish I had just left them alone! Any advice on help with scar (under the eye hollow bit so not amenable to filler) would be much appreciated.

Hi, Just to all who had bags and wrinkles after fillers/other injections - I had a treatment under my eye (hyfracation for syringoma - litle bumps) and it was for vanity reasons really but conducted by a dermatologist at a private hospital. However after applying some cream my eye reacted and swelled up going down after 3 days but left me with a small bag under my eye and a big wrinkle i'd never had before! At first I thought it would go down but it is clear that is permanant and it is causing me distress because it's such a big change (I think) so sudden and preventable. I am 42 so I was gonna get wrinkles round my eyes but hadn't up til now. I guess it is the lack of collagen in older skin and so if it gets streched it just doesn't bounce back, hence the bag/wrinkles whatever the cause. Anyway I can identify with those who find it hard to look in the mirror/get used to it, it is really hard and the more so I think becasue it results from something we did to ourselves rather than naural ageing.
