I had Juvéderm places under my eyes using a cannula. A few days later a bag formed under the eye. The doctor prescribed steroids that did not change the bags. Then, they injected dissolvent. This too did not change the bags. It has been over a month now with no change.
Answer: Eye bag I'm sorry to hear of the issues you've been experiencing. It sometimes will take more than one treatment of hyaluronidase to fully dissolve the product. I encourage you to return to your injector for an evaluation.

Answer: Juvederm pockets under the eye should be dissolved In general Juvederm ultra or ultra plus should not be used to treat the under-eye area because it is too hydrophilic, meaning it draws too much water into the tissues and risks creating a visible bubble or bag as you demonstrate in the photo. Prednisone does not help clear the bag, and steroids should not be injected into this area because there is a risk of skin atrophy. Precise injections of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid, works best. Good luck!

Answer: Under eye "bag" after filler Examination is needed to determine what is the cause of the remaining "bag". It could be filler, underlying eye fat, or combination. I have published a study discussing this issue.

Answer: Dissolving filler This will usually resolve with more hyaluronidase- it takes a relatively large amount of hyaluronidase to truly dissolve out the filler! Hope this helps

Answer: Under eye bags after tear trough injections Hi, thank you for your question. Injections of fillers in the tear troughs are very delicate in the sense that the immediate results are not always representative of the final results. Fillers attract water in general , but more so in this area. Sometimes, even if the injector is very careful and undercorrects the area to leave room for water retention, there can be more water retention than expected, which causes eye bags. Hyaluronidase (the product we use to dissolve the filler) is the best treatment in that case but sometimes it takes more than one treatment of hyaluronidase to get rid of the bags. Good luck!
