whats the secret to minimizing bruises from wrinkle injections like juvederm or restylane? Should I apply ice to the area of injection?
There are a few things that you can try to help minimize bruising. First of all. I request that my patients stop all supplements that may have blood thinning properties. Also, it is important for patients to stop taking aspirin and meds that have aspirin containing qualities. Patients can also start taking Arnica and Bromelain 3-4 days prior to the injections. Ice can also be applied to the area after the treatment. All of these suggestions may help, but will probably not stop bruising all together.
I have a big holiday party coming up, and I want to look fabulous. I am considering getting some and possibly some filler injections (juvaderm) to spruce up for the party, but I don't want it to look obvious. I have two weeks. Do you think I can I pull it off?
Getting Juvederm 2 weeks before an event should be plenty of time to look your best. I would suggest to stop taking aspirin, fish oil or any other supplements that could cause bleeding and bruising. I would also suggest that you start taking arnica a few days before the injectable and continue taking it 3 to 5 days after. Also applying ice right after the injections can also help minimize bruising and swelling.
Had Juvederm done under my eyes. After the 1st treatment - a very uneven result-one eye socket looked half an inch or more lower.Went in to correct it, and instead of a correction - ended up with a big protruding bulge under my right eye and a small "ridge" under my left. Went back asking the PA to fix this. He tried to move the Juvederm, which did nothing except cause a lot of pain, and told me to put ice on the area & use a bleaching cream. As I expected - zero result. How can this be fixed?
The good news is that Juvederm is usually easily reversible with hyaluronidase. You should see an Oculoplastic surgeon who can perform this and also evaluate your eyelids to see if you have any predisposing conditions that led to this result. Good luck.
