Juvederm - is my smile ruined forever? (Photos)

Question

I has injection of juvederm yesterday morning. I had no understanding Dr would inject that much product. Injected under my eyes too while this was to be just the nasolabial. Now my face is super shiny and I hate it. It is also weird looking super swollen and I do not know whether this is due to too much injection or not. Is it possible to get hyaluronidase to dissolve it now? Is it a bad idea to remove it so soon? I want my old folds and my face back. I'm crying about how stupid I was yesterday.

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You most likely have swelling, which can last 1-2 weeks after your injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to experience swelling after filler injections, however this should resolve in the next 2 weeks. I always advise my patients to ice the treated area to help resolve swelling. You can also gently massage the swollen area to help smooth it out. Please consult your injector if this persists after two weeks. All the best!

Hello. Thanks for sharing your question and pictures. Sorry that you’re feeling upset about your JUVÉDERM® results. Before you panic, though, know that it is completely normal to experience some swelling and hardness in the first few days after your injections. These symptoms should gradually subside on their own over the next couple days, revealing your final results, which should appear much more natural and subtle. My advice would be to hang in there until the swelling goes down, and if you’re still unhappy with your results at that point, you can have the product dissolved and get your normal appearance back.

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your treatment.  I encourage you to wait two weeks before making any decisions about revising the Juvederm.  Swelling and bruising from the treatment can last up to two weeks and you may feel differently once the swelling has resolved.  If at that time you are still unhappy you can consider hyaluronidase to dissolve the product.

Hi There Thank you for your question and photographs.I am shocked as to how much filler has been used. Was it a doctor? I would suggest wait 2 weeks and find someone reputable who can melt the filler and get you your face back. It is an easy thing to do but is best done gradually so as not to leave you loose.I wish you all the best.Kind Regards Dr Dinesh Maini Zenith Cosmetic Clinics London /Nottingham

Hello and so sorry you are not pleased.  It is a little difficult to tell from the photos exactly what is going on with you.  Generally, I would suggest waiting a few days to see if any swelling you have will dissipate to the point the results are satisfactory.  If not, hyaluronidase is your best friend.  In the right hands, all of the HA filler can be eliminated.  
Good luck!

Dear REGRETSn,
Thank you for your question and photos. I'm sorry you seem to be going through a difficult time after your fillers. but please note that different people react to the injections differently, and a lot of what you are seeing may be post-injection swelling that will resolve within 2 weeks.
I would strongly recommend that you wait at least 2 weeks before any further interventions, and make your decision based on what you see after the swelling has subsided. Best of luck!

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

You are certainly swollen and have water in the treated area right now. So most of what you don't like is probably that. As that resolves I have a feeling you will be happier. You may certainly have it dissolved. But I'd recommend waiting 2 weeks to really see how you look and decide what to do. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
