How Will a Dental Appointment Before Juvederm Injection Affect the Bruising?

I am getting my first juvederm injection in my nasolabial folds in a week. I am extremely worried about the bruising, actually more than the results themselves! I have a dentist appointment a couple of days before to get some fillings; will that affect the bruising process when I get my juvederm, giving the fact that I will be put under anesthetics when I get my fillings? And what can I do to make sure the bruising is kept to a minimum?

A: Dental Work Before Filler

You should be fine to have dental fillings done a week before you get Juverm.  Just be sure to avoid products such as ibuprofin (Motrin) and naproxyn (Aleve), which might increase your chances of bruising.  Use acetaminophen (Tylenol) if you need a pain reliever.  Also, be sure to use cold compresses intermittently throughout the rest of the day you get your Juvederm.

I actually tell my patients to avoid dental work for several weeks after they have fillers anywhere around the mouth.  I worry that excessive retraction on the cheeks may affect the placement or longevity of the filler.  This may sound overly cautious to some, but why take the risk in your investment?

Should any certified staff member at a Med-Spa give Juvederm injections?

Do other traditional skin rejuvenation procedures work just as well? What Are the Advantages of Juvederm for Crow's Feet?

A: Choose your injector carefully!

There are lots of people doing injections of fillers (such as Juvederm) as well as Botox who probably shouldn't be. The reasons are simple - it comes down to the fact that it can be lucrative, and there is little regulation of what goes on in private medical offices and spas. Thus, you find medical doctors trained in Pediatrics, Gynecology, Emergency Medicine and others, as well as non-physicians, all jumping on board.  It is incumbent on the consumer to vet them out and "buyer beware". I feel that one is best served (and will get the best result) by having their injections done by a physician, or their closely supervised P.A.or nurse, in one of the following specialties : General Plastic Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery/Otolaryngology, Dermatology, or Oculoplastic Surgery.

Generally speaking, Juvederm is not the best choice for crow's feet. Botox/Dysport/Xeomin work well here, as does radiofrequency skin tightening and some lasers.

Is There a Rebate Available for Juvederm?

Hi, I'd like to have some injections of juvederm and botox done but since it's costly, I wondered if there are any rebates available? 

A: Rebate for Juvederm XC plus Botox

Until November 30 there is a "duet" rebate of $100 when having both procedures done at the same visit.  Only practices with larger volume purchases are receiving the rebate certificates to give to their patients.

You may want to visit the Allergan website, identify high level practitioners in your area and call around to see if they are offering the rebates.
