Lumpy Ridges and Bruises After Juvederm Injections
I had Juvederm injected under my eyes for hollows. This was done almost 2 weeks ago. Now I have bruises under both eyes and small pillow-like ridges under both eyes. Is this normal? How long do the bruises last? What are these puffs of pillows?
Juvederm for tear trough correction
Thanks for your question - Unlike Dr. Beraka, in our San Francisco area practice, we prefer Juvederm compared to Restylane for tear trough deformity correction. This area of the body requires expert injection technique. The reason is the extremely thin skin, the potential for palpating lumps of HA (the main component of restylane and juvederm) and the ease at which this area can be bruised. To answer your question the bruising can last for over a month. Try gentle massage to manage the swelling and bruising. Juvederm is somewhat thinner compared to Restylane and is somewhat more forgiving. I hope this helps.
