    I just had to wait it out. Sleep on your back with extra pillows, thats what I did and it helped a little. It will go away! Dont wast your money or time as I did on expinseve creams, they did nothing for me. I tried ice packs, they didn't work either. My story is the same as yours, my eyes looked great at first, after about nine months the puffyness started and it was about another 9 monthe before it went away. I couldnt go anywhere without sunglasses. I was devistated!! I learned a lesson, god made you the way you are and just stick with that. I can tell you that today my eyes look nothing like they did when I was dealing with the side effects of Juvaderm. So sorry that you had to go through this as well. Stay positive and just be patient. I know what it feels like. You WILL be fine. Best of luck.

    Much better! No puffiness at all. I guess you just have to wait it out, but I will never do it again and sugest that no one else does either!!!

    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.
