What to Do with Bluish Tint and Puffy Bags Below Eyes After Juvederm?

If you had times where you noticed that your lower eyelids swelled before your injections, then it is common to be very swollen after.  The injected product, blue color and swelling can significantly be improved in many people with the use of hyaluronidase injected into the area. I would not continue the TriLuma if there is no hyperpigmentation but only the bluish color from the filler. The redness should decrease some time after the TriLuma is stopped.

This is a common problem with superficial injection of a hyaluronic acid gel filler (Juvederm or Restylane) in this area. The filler sounds like it was injected just under the thin lower eyelid skin and is showing through with the bluish tint (tindle effect) and the edema. All of these fillers absorb water and can cause this swelling. The good news is you can have it reversed with the injection of hyaluronidase which dissolves the product. You may need more of this with Juvederm as it is more stable than Restylane. I hope this helps.

Hi Lynn,
Too late now, but in the future only have Restylane injected in lower eyelid area as Juvederm sometimes has too robust of a response in this delicate area. Your physician may consider injection of hyaluronidase to attempt to dissolve some of the Juvederm. Otherwise it will just take time for the swelling to resolve.
Good luck and be well.
