About a year ago I had juvederm ultra injected under my eyes by an oculoplastic surgeon. I got lumps under both eyes - the right worse than left. Weeks later the lumps were still there. I opted not to dissolve with hyaluronidase because I was afraid of damage to my own tissue. the left eye resolved itself months later but I still have a bag under my right. I've never had bags - I had sunken hollows prior to the treatment. It's been 11 months and the lump is still there. Is this permanent?

Answer: Lumps After Fillers -- Not Normal, There are options!
Bruising from Juvederm may appear immediately or the next day. To prevent bruising I always recommend Arnica before treatment and remind my patients to refrain from blood thinners such as Aspirin and Fish oil for at least 10 days before injection. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
It is difficult to say from the photos if this is bruising or the Tyndall effect. If it does not resolve then it is the Tyndall effect. If you don't like the results you can return to dissolve the product with Vitrase. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
Juvederm and Teosyal are both hyaluronic acid fillers that can be used to plump lips. Your choice should be the experience of the doctor performing the injection, not which filler is being used.
