Normal That Juvederm Effects Gone After Only 2 Months-under Eye Hollows?

Question

Three months ago I had Juvederm to fill out my under eye hollows. The swelling lasted 2 full wks. I followed the doc's orders to the letter. Finally by the 3-4 wk the swelling went down & I was very happy w/the results. I looked like me just younger & fresher looking (for 1 1/2 months)I felt GREAT! Now on my 4th month, the Juvederm seems to have "dissipated" & the under eye hollows are back? Dr. said she doesn't know why it happened. Is this common for the Juvederm to vanish this quickly? Help!

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Juviderm lasts 6-12 months. That is an average. The "joy" of plastic surgery is that everyone is different and therefore Juviderm can last 4 months in one patient and 1 year in others.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Yes it can happen. your metabolism is causing the "melting". Or you doc used something else are the only answers that make sense.

Jo Herzog, MD · Answer

I agree with the others and think that it is unusual for juvederm to disappear that fast, especially in that area. Do you have a photo from before you started? Are you sure that you are really back to your baseline? You might give it another try and get good "before" photos, might try another injector or might try  a different filler. Restylane and Radiesse do well here.

Juvederm lasts nine months to a year in my experience.  I have not seen it dissappear in two months.

Francis R. Palmer, III, MD (retired) · Answer

Juvederm or Restylane, used in the tear trough area, will have results with varying lengths of duration based on the placement and the amount of filler used.  Ask the MD that did the injections for advice on how to increase the duration of results.
