Had evolence March 2009...still no improvement. doctors vary on what to do. Some want to wait more time while others want to inject with saline, another filler etc...(NO WAY) it doesnt make sense to ADD something to something thats a problem. If anyone has a solution I would love to know what you did to get the matter taken care of...the original doc says now that it isnt the product..yet he has not been helpful ...so if it wasnt the product then why did he try to take it out with a needle? and tell me to come let him just cut it out? ugh..just do the right thing.

My doctor told me Evolence is NOT for the eye area, only nasolabial folds down to the mouth.
Your doctor is selling you a bill of goods.

Greetings Kathy,
I'm sorry you had a problem with Evolence. I would have anticipated that by now the product would have dissolved. At this point, I would suggest evaluation with a facial plastic surgeon. I have had success using additional hyaluronic acid based fillers (namely Juvederm) to correct the lumpiness caused by other fillers. Unfortunately there is no way to dissolve the collagen based evolence once it is used.

Sorry to see and hear about all these poor results.
The product is excellent but your injector is incompetent.
It looks like you had your tear trough area injected. The injection is too superficial (too close to the surface) and done in a "serial" fashion.
You can find a competent physician to "smooth" out the lumps by either injecting more Evolence (but using the Breeze version, available in Canada) or using a filler like hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm...etc). However, with the HA's, it will dissolve faster than the collagen so you may need to do it again. With Evolence, these bumps may be around for at least 1-2 years.
One simple lesson for the physician, you simply cannot inject Evolence like any other fillers. It is in a class of its own.

I've said it before & I'll say it again, filling in the hollows of your eyes is not good with ANY fillers I have read about or heard from my P/S.
Evolence came on as gangbusters, but Johnson & Johnson doesn't even own the product anymore.. What does this tell you.
Go to a "GOOG" P/S and see if there is any solution. I am sorry for your problem. I, too, think Evolence is not worth it.

Sorry, "Good Plastic Surgeon". My fingers were typing too fast in answer to your problem.
