I had this procedure under both eyes. I had quite a bit of brusing which my Doctor said was normal.
It has now been 3 months and I still have brusing under both eyes. My Doctor says he ahs no idea and has never seen anything like it. Hihs only comfort is for me to see a make up artist? Hundreds of dollars later I'm spending more to cover this mistake.
What happened? How can I correct this?

I have heard that juvaderm causes bluish looking areas when used under the eyes. Maybe this is what you are seeing. When did you have this done and have you noticed any unusual swelling under your eyes?

No, this is a discoloration and swelling. I two huge fray circles that buldge out. It has now been nine months-no change. I look terrible. I'm seriously considering an Attorney.

I had this done in March. It has been eight months and I still have the bluish look and the swelling under both eyes. What are my options?

Could be the Tyndall effect - google it - caused by superficial placement of the juvederm?

Juvederm can be dissolved with hyaluronidase but that causes problems of its own. (See other posts, including mine.) Can you still see that there is juvederm under the skin?
Also, did you have botox at the same time as the juvederm? Or have you had botox since you had the juvederm? Particularly botox in the crows feet area?

I have been back to see the Doctor three times. If hyaluronidase is an option why hasn't it been discussed? He shared with me that he has talked to associates and no one has nay idea what can be done? I find that hard to beleive. I don't know what to beleive anymore.

No, I have only had Juvederm, no botox. I can't tell if it is the actual juvederm under the skin. It's puffy and gray.

I agree that use of Juvederm in the lower peri orbital area has a 12% darkening result. Usually this improves over 3 to 6 months. I use both the IPL and Yag to greatly improve the "TYNDALL EFFECT". But it may take 3 to 6 treatments and thousands of $. That is why I ALWAYS start with Restylane in the peri-orbital areas, it seems to not have these results, but it lasts only 3 months.
Hope that helps.

In your opinion, does Juvederm go away? It's been eight months almost nine now. Or will I always have the gray swelling/pillows if I do nothing? Is surgery an extreme measure?
Would you share and update if you have managed to get rid of the blue bump finally?
