Tired about my under eye bags, I went to one of the best Dr in town, he advised me Juvederm injections in the tear trough +cheekbone areas. 1 week later it looked STUNNING & no more bruising! At the end of week 2, the effect started disappearing slowly,and today (+ 1 month) I am back to my old self... Do you have any clue what happened? My Dr. said it was very rare but some metabolisms absorb the product. Is that possible after 2 weeks? He is supposed to be a really good practitioner. Thank you!
