How Can I Prevent Bruising from Restylane or Juvederm? whats the secret to minimizing bruises from wrinkle injections like juvederm or restylane? Should I apply ice to the area of injection?

A: Preventing Bruising from Restylane or Juvederm

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.

Juvederm 2 Weeks Before a Christmas Party? 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?

A: Juvederm 2 Weeks before a Special Event

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.

Uneven Cheeks After Juvederm, When Will it Wear Off and Even Out Again? Hi! I had juvederm injected in my cheeks, 1 ml in one and 0.9 ml in the other, as 0.1 was injected in my nasalabial fold. However now I have uneven cheeks and when I smile my eyes look uneven, as the fuller cheek eye looks smaller and the other eye looks bigger, I am now concerned about how the filler will wear off? is my face going to look distorted after the filler wears off?

A: Uneven result after Juvederm

You shouldn't be concerned about any permanent changes after the Juvederm wears off, but this will take many months. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to try and diminish the Juvederm. Discuss this with your injector, or seek an experienced cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon that is familiar it.

“Dissapointing and Expensive”

This was my first experience wiht any type of cosmetic "enhancements", I was aging incredibly well, until some severe stress over the last few years and all of a sudden within 1 year I had marionette lines on the corners of my mouth and lines at the sides as well as the nasolabial folds. I will be 43 in a few days. The first treatment was on August 21, and this is already fading. I went back... more
