I had Juviderm under my eyes one week ago. For 6 days I have these lumps and a lines under my eyes. Is this normal? Will this go away?
Answer: Swelling in tear trough area after injection. Swelling of fillers in the tear trough area can be normal. However, superficial injections can lead to visible product. In your case, this seems to be more likely given the picture. If the areas do not reduce over time, the filler will likely need to be partially resolved with hyaluronidase. Make sure to always seek out an expert injector when considering filler injections as it can save you time, money, and issues.

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm You should contact your provider and be seen for a follow up. Swelling and bruising are common side effects after having Juvederm injections. Juvederm and other hyaluronic acids can be dissolved with an enzyme called Hyaluronidase.

Answer: Juvederm Thank you for sharing your case and photos. Make sure that your injector is aware of your condition. I usually don't like to use Juvederm in the tear trough - Restylane silk or Belotero are better options for the thin skin around the eye. Luckily, the condition can be dissolved with enzyme injections. Good luck!

Answer: Filler in the tear trough area Filler injections in the tear trough area has some associated risks, particularly if placed superficially. Dissolving also carries some risk - the hyaluronidase may dissolve the Juvederm as well as your body's natural hyaluronic acid. This could produce lumpiness that is hard to treat. A hasty decision is not necessary! I would recommend waiting for the swelling to subside first, and then see an experienced Oculoplastic surgeon who is experienced with fillers around the eye area. Your options will include: doing nothing if the appearance is better, hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler, or strategic injection of filler to smooth the lumpiness. Best wishes.

Answer: Lumps and swelling after Juvederm This is a great question. Lumps and swelling are common after filler treatment. For my patients I recommend gently massaging the area for five minutes at a time, five times per day, for the first five days. Applying cold compresses will help with swelling. Lumps, bruises, and swelling are normal for the first two weeks after any filler treatment. I like to see my patients about two weeks after their treatment to take follow up photographs and make sure everything looks good. I agree that Juvederm is more hydrophilic than Restylane and Belotero so it draws more water into the area, so is can give more of a full appearance. I also prefer Restylane in the tear troughs. I recommend following up with your doctor about two weeks after your treatment for further assessment. Good luck!
