At injection the doctor does the initial "sculpturing". If after a few days the swelling has gone down and you see a bump. Can mild pressure or massage work to "fan-out" or decrease the bump?
It is important to go see your doctor if you notice any lumps - especially in the first 72 hours. After a certain period of time, lumps cannot be massaged out. Your doctor may need to use a hyaluronidase to dissolve the lump if pressure does not work. In either case, see the physician before taking the decision in your own hands and potentially leading to more swelling or a bigger lump in the area.
Just had juvederm injection to fix the hollowness in my tear through area 2 days ago. I was told not to press on the area of injection as I might move the gel to areas where it shouldn't be. How many days does it take before the gel sets in? Any other after-care instructions I need to know?
Juvederm typically sets in 48 hours. After that time it becomes very difficult to mold. You can ice for 10 minutes of every hour to help with swelling. (A bag of frozen peas is good to use for this because it contours to the shape of the eye). No other aftercare is really necessary.
I had restaylne in the past and it really bruised. the bruises lasted over 3 weeks!! is juvederm similar in that I will get bruising from the injection?
Bruising is a risk after any injection in the face. Best to avoid aspirin, garlic, fish oil or vitamin E 14 days prior to your injection. Also avoid alcohol 2 days prior. Some people feel arnica works well. I have seen so-so results with this herbal remedy. Some also recommend eating pineapple but again I have seen mixed results. The best thing is to ice after the injection and to find an injector who is gentle in his/her technique.
