I had Juvederm injected into my tear trough area. The results were horrible, so after a month, my doctor injected the Hyaluronidase to break it down. How long do I have to wait to have Restylane or Botox injected in same area? The Juvederm appears to be gone. I have always used Restylane with exellent results, but I decided to try something different.

Answer: About a week. Dear Curiosity As I have indicated in other post on RealSelf, for a number of reasons, I am not a big Juvederm fan for the undereye area. For this area, I get the best results with Restylane. The effects of hyaluronidase are pretty immediate. One sees perhaps 50% of the treatment effects almost immediately after the injection but there is some further deflation of the filling effects in the next few days. I would have no qualms about retreating this area with Restylane a week after the hyaluronidase treatment. For perspective, I am a double gold Restylane account and the largest user of Restylane in the under eye area in Los Angeles. My personal feeling is that there is almost nothing that can't be accomplished with enough Restylane and that this approach is much more predictable than surgery for most people. The big exception is in individuals with very thin eyelids. Still treatment for these individuals can be very good and an excellent alternative to lower eyelid or midface surgery. One must understand where the midface volume is needed or you get the very funky "new new face" (see look being sported by a number of actresses. Honestly an cheek filled to low is a horrible look. Natural should be the goal.

Answer: Restylane after Juvederm It is best to allow a bit of time to transpire, to allow all inflammation to diminish. This would probably be in the order of three months in my opinion. It is best to get a very accurate and precise picture of the anatomy before injecting any more filler Juvederm seems to be associated with more problems in the periorbital area, particularly with swelling, than Restylane.
