Horrible Outcome, Worse Than Before!

ORIGINAL POST

I have bags under my eyes and was just not ready...

$500

I have bags under my eyes and was just not ready to have surgery done yet. So I went to a plastic surgeon to find out what could be done without surgery. He then told me Juvederm injected in the lower eyelid would get rid of the bags completely because he would fill in the the areas around the bags so it would be all smoothed out.

Boy was he wrong!!! It looked ok the first day but then the Juvederm "relocated" all the way from the inner corner or my eyes to past the other corner.

Now instead of just having little bags under one side of each eye I have HUGE ones ALL the way under my eyes !! Please look at my pics and do not have this procedure done under your eyes.

Because he told me that the swelling was normal and would not help me get this injection reversed.

Juvederm under the eyes is very tricky. I have heard that it either works well or it works horribly...there is no in between, and the person that is doing the injections, must really know what they are doing. I myself, would opt for another treatment of under eye bags and not go with the Juvederm, even though I would recommend it for around the mouth. I have fantastic results with Juvederm and my nasolabial folds...
what type of other treatments would you recommend dolphins21? i'm a 25 year old female and i'm planning on getting juvederm done in a month for under eye bags, any advice will be greatly appreciated. :)
Oh noooooooo!! Don't do it!!
Lady, that`s why I posted this comment here - please do not use any type of fillers under your eyes!!! I had this done over a year ago and still have huge bags left (I even had a Hyaluronidase injection done that did not help at all) If I were you I`d check into a Blepharoplasty, lasers or TCA peels. Don`t make the same mistake I did.....
Watch out for hardening under the skin, cyst, which cuases drainage under the skin also, try to notice it will be under the injected areas wher gravity pulls, like nitice if your neckarea & chin are getting puffy, you'll thin @ first it is some kind of a double chin. No! Take a good look & also check for hardening ther too, like around your adams aplle,ect. Good Luck & opt out for any of these injections. I had bad results'reactions w/ collagen injections 21 Yrs. ago & have regretted it ever since. Absolutely ruined my life!!!:(
I AGREE!!!! Not any kind of the so called quick fixes of any kind of the injections! BAD!!!!!!!!!!!
Never have it or any other kind of injections done! Please, read down for more of my ANGRY post! All the small print of possible side affects will happen. Get the word out! That is what I am trying to do. I hope it is not too late for you. Sincerely, ANGRY!
I would like to know if you still have problems with juvederm under your eyes.

I did it 2 months ago and I'm a bit scared cause every morning I wake up with bags under my eyes. Thanks for your time!!
Not anymore. Ever since I had the pearl laser done it went away. As mentioned though, it took more than 1 year. Hope that helps!

Takes a few months to settle down

I am so sorry about the results from the juverderm by your eyes,isn't there a injection that takes the juverderm away?? I forgot the name of it but I di believe it works. I wish you well*
Hyaluronidase, trading names "Vitrase" and "Widase" HTH
Thank you Ladies for your help and support. Just hope to have saved someone else from making the same mistake I`ve made.... Unfortunaltely, I am unable to take off of work right now to have the Hyaluronidase injection done so I guess I`ll have to look like that for a while. Does anyone know of a non surgical treatment for eye bags? I`ve heard of Ultrasonic or Microcurrent devices that are suppose to help. Has anyone had experience using those and do they work? Again, thank you for your help!!!
Hi womerj, I too have had juvederm overinjected in my face. Now I look like a chipmonk! Did you try the ultrasonic or micro current facials or procedures and did they help? -thanks, didi
I am sorry to hear that you had to go thru the same thing I had to. Anyway, do not waste your money on the ultasonic or micro current machines or facials. They did not do a thing! I had a Cutera Pearl laser treatment done and it helped A LOT!!
What is a Cutera Pearl Laser treatment?? I have never heard of it...
Is the Cutera the only thing you have tried or have you had success with any other treatments? Also, did you have discoloration too and did the laser help that? I had juv 6 months ago and have the same problem. I'm very depressed about it and no doc seems to have a solution. they all say they've never seen this happen before!
hi again, bags under the eyes is just fattty tissue, the ultrsonic devices may help somewhat but short of having that fat removed in that area you may be disapointed & spend more money on something that will probably not last long?? I guess it would not hurt to try these things if you don't want the surgery right now* JoJo
I know how you feel!
