Do NOT let anyone convince you to use JUVEDERM in your tear troughs! :-(

I'm going to try to schedule an appointment to get it dissolved. It's been two weeks and my one eye looks the same and I still have tear trough creases and I have like a swelled puffy under-eye area. I look like an alien or that like a bunch of bees stung my face. Valentine's Day is coming up and I have plans with this guy I've been seeing that I really like and he thinks I am so beautiful..Well he's in a rude awakening since he hasn't seen me since this freak procedure I'm sure he's gonna change his opinion. I'm terrified about getting Hyaluronidase because I don't want anything poking my face and swelling up. But I want this out!!!!! I'm going to start calling today. I'm so depressed. I've been wearing glasses and avoiding everyone. I face 100's of people on a regular basis with my job so I've been calling off because I can't bear to be looked. I'm clinically depressed at this point. I've tried hot compresses, ice, Zyrtec, Benadryl, Claritin, I've gone through a whole tube of Arnica Gel.....massages, eye creams!!!!!! I run to the mirror every morning to see if it looks different and IT DOESN'T! Did you try Hyaluronidase????

But I am not going back to that idiot! I don't want him anywhere near my eyes. And I'm not giving him another penny! I'm going to call a few doctors I've seen online that specialize in dissolving this crap. I will fly anywhere at this point.

iv been wanting to get hyaluronidase done but have alot of plp tell me not to and have read some bad reviews wer it dissolves your own collagen so basically i'm stuck. do i attempt to do it and end this nightmare or by doing it will it make my nightmare 100 times worse.. im stuck! so depressed

Well I'm terrified too. I don't want anything else injected in my face. I've been emotionally scarred & physically disfigured. I looked on here for doctors who specialize in hylurodinase and I found Raffy Karamanoukian in Los Angeles who is highly rated and says his office specializes in dissolving fillers. I don't want just anyone to do it because I'm afraid it will get worse & I've definitely learned my lesson that even plastic surgeons don't always know what they're doing. I have an appointment on Tuesday. I will let you know how it goes....I've only had my juvederm for 16 days and I realize it's not going to get better so I'm desperate at this point.

good luck, fingers crossed he can help you. i wish it was that easy here in sydney australia, evry dr iv been to dont really use it much and i cant find a dr that specializes in dissolving fillers.. its so hard to find drs here its not like the states you have reviews from so many drs, the last dr i saw only has used it twice im trying to find a dr that has used it nummers times and knows what he's doing but im having trouble finding one. mine has been over a year. and yes their all liers it can last much longer then what they say, wish i never did it. so sad

hi how are you? how did you appointment go?

Hi! The appointment went well. He agreed that I was overfilled & said he would have only used a fraction of what the original guy stuffed in my face!!!!! I told him I wanted it all gone but he said he wanted to use just a little as to not go all the way back to my baseline since I wasn't happy with that either. So, long story short...he injected me once under one eye and twice (under and on the side) of the one that was really swollen and overfilled. I only felt a sting and my eyelids kind of felt funny afterwards but the nurse iced me immediately after and then in about 5 minutes the weird eyelid feeling went away. No pain or swelling except I felt a little itchy tingle once in a while under my eyes, like just for a second that night and the next day. Later on that night I could see the stuffed, swollen look going down a little. The next morning it looked even better. And later that day, about 24 hours later, it looked about 75% better. It was not so overfilled and my tear trough creases were almost gone for the 1st time since this nightmare began. But the next day I could see the creases coming back....so I think it looks about 90% better now. I have my creases, but they are DEFINITELY not as deep as they originally were and I can't explain it but it doesn't look as hollow as it did originally in that area, it looks more plump & full but not in the swollen, stuffed, alien-like way that after 1st doctor. So he did a great job but I do wish he used a little more. I have another appointment with another specialist I found in Scottsdale, AZ on realself.com (Dr. Todd Hobgood) and I'm going to see what he thinks and if he will inject me with a little more. I am going to that appointment this Wednesday on the 25th and I will update you with this. I was scared with all these hylurodinase stories with the swelling and dents and making your under-eyes more hollow than before with your skin saggy and ruined - But thank GOD that did not happen to me and I think the only reason it didn't is because I went to a doctor who SPECIALIZES in hylurodinase & didn't go back to the doctor who originally ruined my face. Oh and also the doctor who dissolved the Juvederm said the same thing: HE HATES JUVEDERM UNDER THE EYES AND IT SHOULD NOT BE USED EVER IN THAT AREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just don't understand why doctors continue to use them. But honestly the plastic surgeon that I went to would have stuffed and overfilled me incorrectly with restalyne also...that's why only doctors who specialize in tear trough filler should do it, not just any old doctor or plastic surgeon looking to make $$$$. I feel a lot better about my face although it's not back to how I want it....my left eye still looks like I have a malar bag around the outer corner that was NOT there before the Juvederm it but I don't think others notice it....I do, so I want to see if I can get more dissolved in that area. Also I still think there's a little more that needs to be dissolved under my right eye too, but just a little. But I look SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER after hylurodinase....I am not hiding under my glasses and not going out. I went to work for the 1st time in 2 weeks since the Juvederm without my glasses 24 hours after the hylurodinase. So I definitely recommend it but only BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO USE IT AND USES IT OFTEN. I hope you can find someone, maybe try to google or call around and if possible fly to a specialist like I did?!!!

wow thats fantastic.. happy to hear it all went well hope it keeps geting better, i havent yet to find one dr that specializes in hylurodinase in sydeny. its so werid cant find any. i'm sure there are alot of cases like ours over here but mayb they just dont post them so its so hard to find anyone over here

I have an appointment to get my Juvederm dissolved. I'm so nervous but anxious to get this CRAP out of my face. I hope it goes well, he is a specialist I found on here and I will update what happens. I can't believe my eyes keep looking worse. It's the worst feeling when you are hopeful that the next day your face will get better when you look in the mirror but it looks the same or worst. I feel like this stuff is stuffed inside my face. I feel sickly and have headaches. I look like hell and I feel it too. I've been avoiding EVERYONE! I don't think we should blame ourselves however b/c we put trust in these blood sucking, incompetent doctors who claim that they can fix our flaws. Most of them don't know how to do it correctly, they're just cashing in. I used to hate my tear trough creases but when I look at pictures I long to go back to that. I went to a oculoplastic surgeon who I trusted even though a little voice inside of me said run for the hills after the consultation. I just assumed he knew what the hell he was doing and $1000 I look and feel 1000 times worse. But he of course said I look amazing. Yeah right, assh*le! Trust me ladies, these people will pay in the end for deceiving and butchering us. We need to start writing bad reviews on any website we find these wack-jobs on. I've already written a detailed warning/bad review on every website I can find with this man on. There's tons of sites that you can go on: here, Yelp, HealthGrades.com, Vitals.com, Etc. If I can save some other person then I will. I just wish someone would have warned me.
