Is there any way to avoid under eye filler to migrate down on the cheeks? Unfortunately, it’s always happening to me! I had to dissolve it after a few weeks every time!
I received Volbella by Juvederm under my eyes. After 4 months or so I got a winter head/sinus cold (which I'm still not sure if it's related), however I woke up with 2 swollen eyes. I ended up getting hyaluronidase acid injected in both under eyes. Both eyes went down. I noticed a hard lump and swelling on my left eye. The swelling is not too bad but the bump concerns me. I plan to get another HA injection next week. Could it be possible that my body rejected this filler? If so, did my cold trigger it (the fillers were fine for 4 months prior). Just trying to find out if this is common and if I decide to get fillers in the future is this filler not a good one for me. From what I can read and what I've been told the filler I got is one of the best. Do you think it's worth giving it another shot in the future?
Fillers can be unpredictable on the area under the eyes; rejection is not typical and I have certainly not seen this in my experience. Consider getting a different type of filler for future injection if you decide to proceed ;even though fillers are convenient consider ac onsult with a plastic surgeon to see if either fat grafting or eyelid surgery is a better option for you.
Good luck

I have been told that Juvederm injected into the balls of the feet can take away the pain of wearing heels. Is this a viable option?
Juvederm is not FDA approved for this purpose, and it's not commonly used for this problem, but you would have to ask podiatrists about off-label use. We plastic surgeons do not treat foot pain, etc.
Anything is possible but I'm not sure how well this would work. Pain is very difficult to nail down. Do you have a pinched nerve? Is there a problem with the bones or joints of your feet? Juvederm could increase the "padding" in an area but would be absorbed eventually and require repeat treatments. It may stimulate new collagen formation which would be good, or cause more pressure with it's volume which would be bad. It's mostly reversible so if your desperate to try something it may help but there is no data on how well it would work.

I am sorry to hear about you filler difficulties. Fillers can migrate at times but this is generally uncommon. You may want to get a second opinion with another Plastic surgeon who performs injections on a regular basis.
