Bumps and uneven skin 1 year after Aquagold. How to dissolve? (photo)

Question

I had Aquagold treatment done almost a year ago. Practitioner mixed Juvederm with saline to do it for me. She said it will provide a lot of hydration into my skin without any added volume. Well, my experience is a bit different. I do in fact have some more volume in my skin, it is like plum but bit too much to my liking, almost like puffy. I also have lumps and irregularities on my skin, the most close to my eyes. How do I dissolve it if it was placed so superficial?

I'm sorry you are having this aggravation over your prior Aquagold treatment. An Aquagold treatment employs gold-plated microinfusion needles in order to perform microneedling, as well as to infuse specific agents into the skin (in this case the diluted Juvederm filler)--with the intent to enhance the overall results of the microneedling session by the addition of those agents. Essentially, it's little more than conventional microneedling accompanied by the topical application of additional agents to enhance the results of the microneedling. 
In this particular case, if only the diluted Juvederm was used, it would seem reasonable to employ hyaluronidase to shrink and flatten the unwanted bumps and the areas of excessive fullness 
You would be wise to make sure to be consulting with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.
