Bulging Under Eye After Juvederm Injection in Cheeks /Botox in Brows

The swelling could be a hematoma from the vein trauma, but usually this is slighlty tender and turns dark quickly. It might be displaced filler that occurred not after but during the procedure. Rarely the subcutaneous anatomy allows filler to move to an adjacent area as it is injected under pressure. That is why slow injection is helpful to minimize excessive product being displaced. If it doesn't appear to the doctor to be a hematoma, it can be injected with an enzyme, hyaluronidase, to dissolve excess Juvederm.

Thank you for your question. Swelling is possible everytime a needle penetrates the skin. Having said that, I typically find that the degree of swelling varies based on the treatment and location. For example, swelling after Botox is usually minimal (unless you bruise). Juvederm in the nasolabial folds also has minimal swelling. Juvderm in the lips, however, can result in a lot of swelling. It's a good treatment to do on Friday so the swelling can be reduced by Monday.If you swelling persists, I would return to your injector as they may have irritated the lymphatics under the eye and causing a persistent swelling.

This is over fill.  It can be from too much actual filler or too much water held in association with the injected filler product.  Generally this lower eyelid area is not optimal for Juvederm.  The beauty of Juvederm for inexperienced injectors is that the product is smooth-meaning that if you create a lump or bump, the product tends to smooth out.  This is not an ideal characteristic for the tear trough because for some individuals, this means that after treatment the product tends to collect at the top of the cheek.  The presence of a bruise means that you should give this perhaps one more week.  If the area is still too full, your injector should begin to adjust the product with the enzyme hyaluronidase.  If you injector does not feel comfortable making this adjustment, you are working with an inexperienced injector and need to find someone with a full range of skills which is essential if one plans to offer these types of services to the public.

Based on the description it does not sound like an accumulation of excess product, but rather fluid accumulation. This will resolve itself slowly over the next couple of weeks. Continue to have the injector monitor the progress.

The fact that it occurred immediately after the injection with bruising would indicate that that this was blood.  As you indicated the bruising has resolved which is going to resolve quicker than any fluid accumulation.  Fluid accumulation under the eye tends to persist longer than other areas because the tissue is loose in this area.  I would wait a period of time before injecting any hyaluronidase because I don't believe this is a matter of overcorrection.

The area that you described can be from several things. If it feels lumpy then it is possibly filler or hematoma resolving. If hematoma, it should go away within a few weeks. If not lumpy it couls jsut be swelling which also should resolve. If it is filler, hyaluronidase can dissolve it.
 

I agree with those that said to give it a few weeks before making any decision. This can be the filler but it can also be inflammation or resolving hematoma.

You either have a resolving hematoma from the injection or too much fill in the wrong place. You will need to wait a little longer before acting.

You probably had a small hematoma, it will take 3 weeks to resolve.

Wait about 6 weeks and if the swelling is still there may consider disolving the Juvederm with Hyalurinadase.
