I got Juvederm filler placed in my tear trough/ under eye area to correct hollowness. It was my first time getting filler, and I was injected with about 1.5 syringes. I was very bruised and swollen for a week. I used Arnicare twice daily. It's been two weeks now and I am very disappointed. It is now obvious that I was VERY overfilled and now have big bags. I look a million times worse than before I got this procedure. I want the doctor to dissolve it and give me a refund. Is that reasonable?

Answer: Undereye filler Hello,I am sorry about your experience! First, I would not use Juvederm for tear troughs. It is way too thick for the delicate undereye area. I typically use Restylane. Luckily, your filler is reversible and I would absolutely recommend getting it reversed. I personally would find a different doctor - board certified - to do that. It wouldn't hurt to ask for a refund, especially if you are having to pay someone else to reverse it.Best of luck!BH

Answer: Eye bags after injections of fillers in tear trough Hi Kristen, thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear you are not happy with your results. Whether you can a refund or not is a conversation you'll have to have with your injector. But to reassure you, fillers are reversible and can be diluted if your tear troughs are over corrected. Tear troughs are a very delicate area to inject because it is the area where water retention is the highest in the face, so your immediate results are not necessarily representative of your final results. The water retention can over fill the area even if the injector under corrected the area to leave room for water retention. We can always correct this if it happens with hyaluronidase, which will dilute the excess of product. I recommend you schedule a follow up appointment to discuss this with your injector. Best of luck!
