Is Juvederm Vollure safe for tear troughs?

Thank you for your question about Juvederm Vollure.  This is a wonderful new product in the U.S., but it has been safely used for several years in Canada, and has similar cross-linking technology to Voluma and Volbella.  We use this product for tear trough treatment in our office with beautiful, long lasting results.  It attracts less fluid than most of the other hyaluronic acid fillers - which is very desirable in this area, and use of a cannula makes this a very safe procedure when done by your board certified provider who can help you decide if this product is for you.  Best of luck with your treatment and thank you again for your question.

Hello and thank you for your question.  There is a thinner filler that we prefer to use in our office called juvederm volbella. We prefer this filler because it is better for delicate areas such as the under eye.  Side effects can be bruising for up to 1 week and swelling.  I can not say why your doctor is using vollure for the under eye.  Without seeing you in person it is hard to say if he felt vollure was better due to severity of hollowing.  Both vollure and volbella are hyaluronic acid fillers that can be dissolved if you are unhappy with your result.   Be sure to go to an experienced, board certified provider for your consultations. I hope this helps, good luck to you.
