Is it normal to have a raised area exactly where the injection was in the tear trough area. I also have numbing below my nose. Went back next day and she said it was normal and if it was still swollen to come back in a week. A week later I saw the owner who also said it was normal. Is this normal?

Answer: Juvederm in Tear Trough Thank you for sharing your concern and your photos. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus are not ideal for the true tear trough as prolonged or delayed swelling leads to a festooned appearance. In addition, it appears that you may have improperly superficially and medially placed filler. Please return to your cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon for re-evaluation. The good news is this can be corrected with hyaluronidase, although it may take several treatments. Best of luck,Suneel Chilukuri, M.D. (refresh dermatology.com)Houston, Texas

Answer: Raised area in tear trough after Juvederm - Tear trough Fail! This is not normal and it should be removed with hyaluronidase. When filling the tear trough, the whole cheek needs to be considered and filled. This looks like the provider tried to correct the tear trough but failed. Also, to further complicate matters, Juvederm was used which is the absolute wrong product for this area. It tends to swell for prolonged periods of time and better choices are Restylane, Refyne, or Belotero. I would see another provider for this area.
