Never use juvederm in the tear troughs???
I just changed my rating to Not Worth It. After 2 surgeries and a series of complications, I met with an opthamologist who said unfortunately she has ok average 3 patients per week who come to her with issues from juvederm in the tear troughs. She explained that no reputable surgeon should ever make that recommendation due to the unpredictable hydrophilic nature of juvederm. It's too late for me now, but hopefully someone else can read this and stop while they still have a choice! I only wanted to not look tired. I didn't want 2 surgeries, weeks away from work, dry eye complications and numerous doc visits.
What a roller coaster
So it has been a while since I updated. For anyone considering fillers in the year troughs, do NOT use juvederm. Period. It's that simple. The hydrophilic nature of it has completely destroyed my lower eye area. From the daily struggle with water retention and puffiness, I'm now left with saggy skin and going in for a skin pinch blephoroplasty on Thursday. Doc had recommended doing a Fraxel CO2 resurface, but after reading several reviews and 300+ pics, I decided to just go with surgery. Plus it offered the least amount of downtime as I don't have much PTO from work. This has seriously been a daily struggle, and I do mean DAILY, has destroyed my self confidence and increased my already horrible anxiety. I'm terrified but really looking forward to surgery! The Radiesse in my cheeks that I raved about earlier has been ok, but I've found that what I really liked was the initial swelling from the lidocaine. Once that wore off and I ate too much salt causing my eyes to puff up, I was right back in the same boat. Attaching pics showing the under eye sagging.
Finally happy
Went in yesterday and had a tiny amount of Radiesse injected into the upper cheek area. What a world of difference that made and guess what....NO BRUISING! I seriously love this woman. There is still discoloration but I'm assuming it's Tyndall and I'll just have to wait it out, but now without the extra divots and unevenness from the juvederm, a couple dabs of color corrector and it's a million times better!
