Juvederm Left My Under Eye Skin More Wrinkled & Saggy, What Can I Do?

Question

I had juvederm placed under my eyes in july along with botox. the botox took away wrinkles in my forehead & crows feet but the juvederm left the skin under my eyes more wrinkled, loose and saggy. I have had about 4 rounds of dissolver but it does not seem to be working. my eyes look much worse than how they started, the skin literally looks pushed up and folded into big, deep, loose, saggy wrinkles. i am supposed to go for my 5th round of dissolver tomorrow & my doc recommend botox too.

Some of your lower lid wrinkling might be do to swelling from constant trauma to this area. Five sets of injections in a little over a month-That is  a lot. I would do nothing at all for a few weeks and give yourself a chance to get to some normal baseline. If you still have wrinkling I would consider laser. I doubt that a fifth round of hyaluronidase will add to your satisfaction.

Not all under eye problems can be treated with fillers. If you are unhappy with the loose skin, you may need a lower lid blepharoplasty.  Allow the juvederm to resorb and seek a consultation.

Reginald Rice, MD, FACS · Answer

If you have waited a few days for the trauma of the injection process to resolve and you are still not happy--it doesn't smooth out--then have it removed. This is part of the benefits of using hyaluronic acid products--we have hyaluronidase that dissolves it within 48 hours.

	I know this is not a pleasant thought considering the costs of putting it in, however, maybe your injector will make accommodation for the misadventure.

	Good luck!

Unfortunately, if you have had 4 rounds of "dissolver" already (probably hyaluronidase), then further dissolver will probably not solve your problem.  You need to be seen in person, but your skin may be amenable to tightening with laser.  That could help decrease the wrinkles.

You need to come in and be seen. I find the under eye problems as yours very difficult to treat, You may in fact need a lower lid blepheroplasty
