Getting Juvederm Injections Under Eyes? Tri Valley Plastic Surgery

I don't like how my under eye area looks hollow, so I decided to get Juvederm injections. However, I noticed that the doctor didn't inject in that area, but rather, closer to the top of my cheek bone, and so I am not really seeing results. They still look tired. Is it not possible to have Juvederm directly under eyes?

Juvederm under the eyes

Thanks for your question Juvederm (or any other filler) can be a useful tool for filling in static wrinkles. The lower lid skin however is quite thin and caution should be used as bumps and bruising can be more common in this area. In our San Francisco area practice, we inject this area very rarely because of these potential problems. Also, be sure to recognize that this is considered an "off label" use of Juvederm (it is not FDA approved for injection in this area). Have an honest conversation with your physician to assess the risks. I hope this helps

Juvéderm is a family of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers manufactured by Allergan. Different formulations address different concerns — Voluma for mid-face volume, Vollure for nasolabial folds, and Ultra/Ultra Plus for lips and perioral lines. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, providing both volume and hydration. Results are immediate and typically last 6–18 months depending on the product and treatment area. HA fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.

When evaluating any cosmetic procedure, choosing a surgeon who operates in an accredited surgical facility is one of the most important safety decisions a patient can make.
