I Don't See Juvederm Results in Tear Troughs Yet - Does It Take Time?

User Avatar

I had Juvederm placed in my tear troughs due to hollowing. I really saw no difference after. My doctor said he placed it conservatively because Juvederm plumps up more as it absorbs water from the surrounding tissue and that it would take a week or so before I would see full results. Do you agree with this? It's been a week now and still see no real improvement. He used one vial for both eyes. I had no bruising or swelling. Do I need more or should I wait a little longer for it to fill out?

Generally, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC lasts for approximately 9-12 months, but this can be shorter or longer depending on your body.

There is no direct chemical intereaction between the Silicone you had and a new filler such as Juvederm or Restylane if it were injected. The Silicone is permanent and the hyaluronic acids just mentioned are temporary. There can be, and I have seen a reaction, of Silicone years later after the...

This is a very bad idea for a number of reasons.It is illegal to buy medicine if you are not a doctor or pharmacy.  Every week we get a fax in the office about a "Canadian" pharmacy that wants to sell us Juvederm at half price. We don't know where the Juvederm is coming from, or what is in...

If you have a good aesthetic outcome, then you probably have not ruined anything. If you see a new lump in an area that wasn't injected, then maybe you squeezed the Juvederm into a different area, but it doesn't sound from what you mentioned that this is the case. Schedule a followup...

There was confusion many years ago with collagen-vascular disease and collagen injections.  There should not be a cause and effect between Juvederm and Lupus but you should get the OK from your doctor who treats your Lupus to have the filler as there could be other concerns such as an...
