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: Juvederm injection for hollow eyes can make puffy eyes and hollow eyes worse I agree that the skill of the doctor who injects Juvederm usually is most important for a good outcome.However, I do not inject Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane, Perlane Evolence, Sculptra or any filler to correct eye hollows for several reasons;Eyelid skin is so thin and delicate that fillers often show through as grey lumpsTrue hollow eyes require composite fat grafting for adequate correction-filler volume is not enoughFillers are hard unlike fat and are unnatural consistency for correction of hollow eyesThe action of the eyelid muscle pushes the filler downward plumping the upper cheek and making the hollow eye look worseDiscoloration from bruising can be permanent as hemosiderin pigment is left behindIt is dangerous to "blindly" inject with a needle around the eye-blindness has occurred with filler injection around the eyeIn time with massage the filler will dissolve. Don't use Hyaluroinidase around the eye.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Juvederm for under eye hollow Juvederm isn't an ideal filler for under eye hollows because it is considered a hydrophilic filler. Hydrophilic refers to it's ability to draw water towards itself. Juvederm is one of the most hydrophilic fillers on the market. Restylane can be hydrophilic but much less so than Juvederm. Restylane is typically the go to filler for the under eye area.

Answer: Filler vs. Fat This is a common problem. People try and fix issues that require surgery with filler. Typically we are able to improve the issue just not solve it. We never want to make things worse. A few key things need to be answered. How long ago was the injection? depending on that it could be swelling and edema still. If it has been over two weeks then you can consider the antidote that can absorb the material.Another thing to consider is facial fat transfer that can help with this issue. It is worth looking into if you are against surgery for now.Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Treating under eye hollows with fillers Thank you for your question. In my opinion, some swelling in the tear trough after tear trough injection is not uncommon especially in the first 72 hours after the injection. This swelling usually go away in 2 weeks. Massaging the area can help. If you are beyond the 2 weeks mark then most likely this swelling will stay until the product is absorbed. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Answer: Puffy eyes I'm sorry to hear about you experience. Fillers like Juvederm are hydrophilic, meaning they attract water. This can increase swelling in the area. Typically this decreases with time. There are a lot of factors that can influence these issues. It is difficult to give advise without an examination of you.

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.
