I was injected with so much Juvederm under my eyes that I could barely see out of my left eye. I got 5 hyaluronidase treatments and have been left with dark circles and small bags under my eyes. I just want to be normal again. Do you think I should get another treatment? It is better but not back to normal! Please advise.

Answer: Juviderm Under the Eyes Aloha Nessy, Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Time should get you back to normal again. If the dark circles under your eyes are newly formed after your injections then they may be due to residual bruising. In that case, warm compresses once an evening may be helpful. I also agree with everything that Dr. Gilman has advised. Be patient, time is your best friend. When you get the chance, please take a swim in that beautiful Hawaiian ocean for me. Mahalo and be well. Dr. P

Answer: Tyndall Effect After Juvederm Thank you for your question. It is most likely the bluish color you are experiencing is called the Tyndell effect and happens when the Juvederm is injected to superficially. Because Juvederm is a hydrophilic filler, meaning it attracts water I do not always recommend it for the tear trough area (under the eyes). Even after 5 treatments of hyaluronidase it can still be possible that some Juvederm remains and you may require additional treatments. It is best to note that Juvederm is not permanent and will dissipate over the next 6-12 months. I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation and treatment. Best of Luck!
