Complications After Juvederm to Tear Troughs? (photo)

September 12, 2012
Asked By:uphill in Colorado Springs, CO

Had a little juvederm injected tear troughs a week ago. (Board certified plastic surgeon) It's different each day: tear troughs gone, raised areas w/ a yellow hue instead, & swollen ridge well underneath, looks like fluid (yellow). Sometimes bigger, then smaller. Saw an occuloplastic surgeon who said it is likely lymph; that HA fillers are not for me, it may resolve in 2 months, if not, can partly or wholly dissolve w/ wydase. Opinions? Can the wydase be used without me losing my own collagen?

Answer: Juvederm is not the correct filler to be used in the tear trough area as it attracts a lot water and causes edema.
