I had Juvederm injected under both eyes on October 8, 2012. It migrated to my lower eyelids and caused severe swelling, wrinkling, and a dark, bluish hue around, my right eye.The wrinkles under, and around, my eyes are very severe and were not present before Juvederm. I've traveled to, or contacted, thirty doctors and none will treat me with hyaluronidase. They want the original doctor to. Is there a doctor willing to treat me, with the dissolver, within four hours of Southeast Michigan?

Answer: How to find a physician who injects Hyaluronidase
I would recommend going to the Juvederm website and finding the top listed physicians in your area. Select a cosmetic specialist (cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who personally injects a lot of filler) towards the top of the list (doctors are listed in order of how much Juvederm they purchase from Allergan) and call their offices to find out if they use Hyaluronidase. In my office we often correct other clinics mistakes plus we like to have Hyaluronidase available just in case we ever have a problem, but Hyaluronidase has a short expiration date and is expensive, so many offices do not have it on hand.

Answer: Your original doctor should inject you, or personally recommend someone
If you had a complication from poor injection of a filler, your injector should treat you with hyaluronidase. It doesn't make sense that he/she will not, so there must be more to this story. Perhaps, they feel that the problem is not the filler, so hyaluronidase will not help. Or maybe they are not a plastic surgeon or dermatologist and should not have been injecting you to begin with. If hyaluronidase is indicated and your injector will not do it, he/she should personally recommend a physician that will. It is not surprising that no doctor that you called is willing to treat you and get involved in potential litigation.
