I got Juvederm 19 days ago for under eye hollow treatment. I feel the DR overfilled and my eyes are swollen like pillows

December 5, 2015
Asked By:jamesgordon in San Francisco, CA

1) is it possible I still have swelling after 19 days? or is this the result of over filling? 2) Is it normal to get overfilled or is this a sign of lack of skills? 2) I feel after the injection my eyes have more pigmentation. Can you tell if it is still bruised from the pictures? 3) Is it possible for me to massage the extra filler and make it flat? What can I do? Should I let my Dr dissolve and try again? I am not sure if I trust my Dr skills.
