Juvederm Volbella for Tear Trough

ORIGINAL POST

On Jan 25 2016, I went to a very reputable Clinic...

On Jan 25 2016, I went to a very reputable Clinic to get my Tear Troughs filled. She used Juvederm Volbella using Micro Cannula. She proceeded with my right eye and IMMEDIATELY my eye started to swell! She took a step back and said she has never Sen anything like this happen. It just swelled up, no bruising or discoloration or anything. She then finished filling but said it was difficult with the swelling there already. I'm not sure how much she put in. Anyways, I didn't let her do the other eye as I said I would prefer to see what happens with this one. On Wed Jan 28th I sent her some pictures of my eye which was now 10 times worse and I looked like I had a black eye and a pocket of fluid down my cheek. She told me to come in the get it dissolved. I went in that day and she injected the Hyaluronidase. I did see it go down a little tiny bit right away but not that much. She said within 24 hours I should be good. It is now Sat Jan 30 and I still have this huge puffy blister like look under my eye. When I look down my vision is even obstructed. This is very very upsetting. I sent her picture yesterday as it still looked like a black eye and she said to wait it out during the weekend and if not better to come back on Monday. I am just very concerned if she wants to put more Hyaluronidase in there. Should I get more injected? Am I just having a reaction to the Hyaluronidase? She is wondering if maybe I was allergic to the Lidocane but I have had filler in my cheeks using Voluma and had zero issues. Any help or advise would be appreciated. I am attaching photos in order from Day 1 of getting the filler to today which is 6 days later. I guess my concern is..... how long does this Hyaluronidase take to fully work an dissolve this stuff. Thanks in advance for your time

never go to a clinic and make sure you go to a plastic surgeon who is trained in injectables in this particular area..its very sensitive.. the Hyaluronidase takes no more than 24 actually mine worked within a few hours to reduce the fluid build up.. would not go back there. look up a good plastic surgeon who is trained in this..
good luck..

I went to a Plastic surgeon 5 years ago to get this same thing done and I looked like a monster for 8 weeks as he hit a vein under both my eyes, it was terrible. I have been seing this lady for my botox for the past 10 years and she has been great but she has never done my filler before. At least I don't have to pay for it. I'm wondering if I call somewhere else to get this fix, how much it will be. I can go back to her to inject more Hyaluronidase if I want

Girl I am dealing with the same issues. I had Reystylane injected in November under bothe eyes I've had it done in the past with no problems it's February and still having problems. Like you I have bruising swelling indentions sagging bluriness nots sinus problems pain. I aged 20yrs overnight I have had 3 rounds of Vitrase to dissolve it I still have filler I can't wear makeup it magnifies it 20 times worse!! I wish I had my few wrinkles back! I look like a freak!! I'm so depressed and I'm tired of people saying you need to see a professional! Plastic surgeon! Someone who is trained! Really?? Of course I did!! I have been on predizone antibiotics it helps a little but everyday is different I never know what I'm going to look like when I wake in the morning. I'm confined to home unless I go to dr appointments my daughters even admit I look bad . I got a second opinion he suggested a midline face lift 9 Gran! Really?! Wow! I would give anything to look like I use too

It took almost two weeks for my swelling to go down. Wait it out a little more.

one month post awful experience

Corals
So after 3 Hyaluronidase my under eye is pretty much back to normal. I do however still have a dark bluish black ring going from the inner corner to almost the other corner of my eye. The Hyaluronidase seemed to really dehydrate my skin there so covering up the black ring will just not work cause it ends up looking awful. The lady I went to feels awful and has done all of this at no cost to me, not even the filler or anything. She is bringing in a lady that is coming here from Paris to promote Boltero to take a look at me to see what's going on. She thinks it has a lot to do with the water binding that the juvederm does. Apparently the Boltero doesn't have a water binding affect. I will not inject anything under my eyes again but I am very curious to see what she has to say. Also getting my botox treatment for free then as well just because of everything I have gone through this past month. Cheers

Hi, Be careful with the Boletero because I had the same experience you had. You were fortunate to have a person not charge you and acknowledge your situation. My doctor did not take responsibility and I continued to pay for fillers to try to mask the problem. I had swelling under my eyes as if I had edema. I had big puffy bags under my eyes. It was awful.

Did you have the swelling with the Boletero? I'm not going to get it under my eyes that's for sure

Did the ps try to get you to wait it out for it to settle in? Mine says I'm still swollen and give it time but I have bumps n lumps and freaking out. And I also developed white spots and more wrinkles. I'm 43, first time filler under eye and barely did .5 syringe for both eyes It's 3 days post.

She didnt want me to wait it out as ahe knew right away that it needes to be corrected. Its been 2 full months now and thank gos everything is back to normal. I have found out now that i am actaully allergic to Juvederm. They say you cant be allergic to it because our own body produces HA but there are other ingredients in the juvederm as well. She did a small injection in my forearm to see how i would react and i sure did. Swelled like a pumpkin

Hi I to just had my HA dissolved 5 days after having restylane skinboosters, I had lumps all over my check. After having it dissolved with hylase my skin went red raw from the injection. I was wondering if anyone has the same experience?

2 syringes of undiluted hyaluronidase dissolves one syringe of juvederm. Get the hyaluronidase injected. Get the juvederm out. Only restlyane is supposed to be used under the eye because juvederm swells non stop. Tear trough fillers are dangerous. Dont do fillers again after this
