I had Juvederm injected below my eyes to fill in hollows, and now I have pillows instead. It looks horrible. My doctor said that only surgery would fix this and he stated I should have had eyelid surgery all along. He suggested I initially try the injection because I cannot afford surgery right now.

Answer: Puffiness after under-eye injections Please wait at least a couple weeks to see if puffiness is actually temporary swelling.If puffiness is due to product, it is likely from too much product placed too superficially. Product can be easily dissolved with hyaluronidase. Under eyelid skin is very thin. I place most of the product on the bone, and, only if needed, a few very thin strands superficially. It is better to undercorrect in this area, then to have an unnatural or puffy result.

Answer: Juvederm in the Lower Lids Can Swell and Stay Puffy Juvederm and Restylane are interchangeable in a lot of filling areas, but in the lower eyelids, I see a difference. Others have reported that Juvederm is more hydrophyllic (water-loving) than Restylane and in the lower lids, I see that as a disadvantage. For that reason, I don't use Juvederm in the lower lids, and use Restylane cautiously.

Answer: No Surgery Necessary I’m surprised at your doctor’s response to the puffiness. Surgery is not necessary to fix this. The puffiness could be caused by swelling, which will gradually subside in about two weeks. If you still notice over-correction at that time, you can go back to your injector and get hyaluronidase, which will dissolve the excess product. Alternatively, you can simply wait until the results of the injection wear off, which would be in a few months. However, surgery is definitely not needed!
