I received 2 syringes of Juvederm Voluma 14 days ago from a Facial Plastic Surgeon. Unfortunately, he hit a blood vessel under my left eye which caused a huge ugly bruise (still slightly present) and swelling. I am now concerned with the bags/puffiness I have under my eyes. I don't know if this is "swelling" that will continue to go down or if it is "fat bags" that were pushed upwards when the filler was injected. I feel like my face looks distorted now and I am considering dissolving.

Answer: Swelling and pronounced bags under eye/in eye socket area after Juvederm Voluma. (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry to hear of your injection issues. If you did not have the bags underneath your eyes prior to receiving your injections I would not anticipate them to stay once the filler softens and your results mature. I would critically assess your before and after pictures with your facial plastic surgeon to determine whether to allow more time to pass or to place hyaluronidase to dissolve the Voluma. Hope this helps.

Answer: Bruising and swelling after Voluma Thank you for your question qtzie. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Voluma is a filler used to enhance the appearance of the face. I prefer Restylane and Volbella under the eyes as Voluma is a thicker filler and can lead to increased swelling. Bruising resolves on its own usually in 1-2 weeks. Typically swelling also lasts 1-2 weeks but when thick fillers such as Voluma are used in sensitive areas such as the tear troughs the swelling may last longer. I recommend that my patients apply cold compresses to reduce swelling. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
