My right eye is worse than the left, but they are both still swollen. The right eye is also discolored. My Dr is insisting that it is a hematoma, and refuses to dissolve the Juvaderm. She wants to wait two more weeks, then do a laser treatment for the 'hematoma' on the right eye. Should I find someone else to dissolve it for me? It seems unlikely that a hematoma would still be this large after 3 weeks.

Answer: Juvederm tear trough injection not happy This will not get better. Juvederm is not the right product for this area. It leads to a chronic swelling frequently. Also it has been filled incorrectly. I question the experience of this provider. I always use cannulas here and it is rare to get bruising with them and never hematoma. Seek out an experienced injector to correct the issue and fill the tear troughs appropriately.

Answer: Juvéderm in the tear trough can lead to excessive swelling I love Juvéderm, but not in the tear trough area. It can lead to a problem with excessive swelling, which is probably what your photos are showing. The only way to tell would be an in-person examination. If you're unsure about the physician (I hope it was a physician who injected you), then get another opinion from an experienced physician who regularly uses fillers, a "core" physician in one of the aesthetic specialties (dermatology, plastic or oculoplastic surgery) in your area. Juvéderm can be dissolved and after it settles down, Restylane or Restylane Silk are preferred options for that area of the face.
