I had Juvederm injected under my eyes 3 weeks ago. I am still bruised, (yellowish now) but I also have a blue tint to my skin. Make-up does not cover it, but enhances it. I look tired and appear as if I had been crying for a long time. I have called the Dr. 3 times. I was told thru the secretary to use ice, warm compresses and massage the area. It hasn't done a thing. I look worse than I did before it was done! I am miserable!! I have big puffy bags under my eyes. How long before I look normal?
Answer: Why Do I Look Worse After Juvederm?
Sorry for your issues. I will try to give you some insight. 1. Either the injecting doc placed the Juvederm TOOO superficially or used to much to cause the TYNDALL effect. Or you did not have Juvederm but thought you did. 2. You where on blood thinners like aspirin or vit. E, causing bleeding effect. 3. You are just a very slow healer, very doubtful but a possibility. Thus I personally use RESTYLANE in the lower lid area in a series of visits always injecting slightly deeper. The good news is this "should" metabolize over the next months or you can have Vitrase injected to dissolve the Juvederm. Sorry for your experience. DEMAND to see the injecting doc!!!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Juvederm to Tear Troughs Too Swollen
Juvederm to the tear troughs and bruising thereafter can profoundly influence results as well as depth of injection. If, after several weeks, the injector is convinced that too much product has been injected, hyaluronidase can be used to reduce Juvederm burden.

Answer: Worse after Juvederm...
You are obviously still bruised. It's unfortunate. The "blue" discoloration is called the Tyndall effect this can take a long time to improve. Juvederm is a wonderful product but not usually for the under eye area. The skin is too thin and very unforgiving for swelling and any irregularities. I have found Restylane or Belotero works better in that area they are softer products and lay better there. You could consider having some of the Juvederm dissolved with Vitrase? Try talking to your doctor about this.

Answer: Follow up with your Physician
I am sorry to hear that you are having to deal with bruising and an undesirable result post tear trough filler. From what you are describing, it seems like you are having a tyndall effect from the Juvederm. This can happen in some patients where the filler reflects light which gives a bluish tinge.
Have your practitioner reassess the area and discuss what some of your options are. Now that you are 3 weeks post procedure a follow up is necessary.
Good luck

Answer: Juvederm and tear trough problems
The bruising you have will fade with time; however, it appears that you have too much Juvederm injected too superficially in the tear trough area. This result may last for several years. You must see the injecting doctor to have at least some of the Juvederm dissolved. Restylane would be a better choice next time.
