Hello, I am a 20 year old male. I have had bad dark circles under my eyes ever since I was very young. After wasting tons of money on useless creams and make up. I decided to get juvederm injections to fill the area because the doctor told me it was due to deep set eyes and that the bluish black i was seeing was actually a muscle because of thin skin. However I was extremely bruised after the treatment and swollen, but I was assured this would dissapear. 3 months later and the dark circles not only look worse than they did before the juvederm, I now have slight bags under my eyes. How do I fix this nightmare?
