Swelling or Too Much Juvederm?

Thank you for your question. It is difficult for me to give you advice without knowing for how long you’ve had your treatment. Usually, it takes up to 2 weeks to any swelling to resolve. However, Juvederm is not the appropriate filler to be used in the tear trough area as it attracts lot water and causes edema. The best filler for this area is Restylane as it is thinner filler and attracts less water. Typically, I use cannulas for this area for safety and less bruising. I recommend following up with your injector as he/she may want to dissolve the filler with hyaluronidase. Best of Luck!

One day after injection with Restylane or Juvederm, some signficant swelling is completely normal, so don't be alarmed. It is helpful to use ice packs on and off to minimize this, but to a degree it is a normal part of how the hyaluronic acid fillers work. They absorb water first, and then they settle in. Check again in a week or two to see if the swelling has decreased, and don't be totally surprised if it takes an extra week or two. Filler is a three-dimensional art, so you are right to look from all angles. If you are not happy, see your physician again. Always make sure you see a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
