I had fat transfer under the eyes a few years ago that left all sorts of bumps but have finally been successful with bringing it down to an acceptable level with Kenalog. There were some little bumps that I can live with but thought I would just smooth it all out with Juvederm so I gave it a try.
I had Juvederm injected under eyes a week ago and it is definitely too much and placed lower than it should have been. It looks like I had something injected and I really need it to all just go away – it was fine before. The doctor has not used hylaronidase before and our question is a) does it matter if it’s injected in all the same spots as Juvederms as that is hard to guess or do the enzymes just find it and dissolve it?
Could regular massaging make it go away in a few weeks; is there any danger with hylaronidase or should we just do it?
Appreciate your expertise.
Thank you,
Katie
