Juvederm and swelling

Glenn Vallecillos, MD answers: How long before I see Juvederm results?

How long does it take to see results from Juvederm?  I just got some in my nasolabial folds and lips, and I can't wait to see how it really is going to look.

Excellent question. The results of Juvederm are essentially immediate, with a mild to modest amount of swelling, depending on the area injected. Generally speaking, patients may experience some swelling after the injections, but this usually resides within 2-3 days. The exception may be the peri-ocular regions or below the eyes. Due to the thinness of the skin in this region, patients may experience prolonged swelling, lasting up to weeks.  Hope this helps.

Juvederm is a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based filler. You will see immediate results after the injection. HA based fillers are hydrophylic, which means they attract water. In the first few days after injection the area typically gets softer and any bruising or swelling resolves.

Occasionally, patients may benefit from additional volume of filler to acheive "optimal correction". I would wait about 2 weeks after injection and if you have any questions about the result then follow up with your doctor.

The wonderful thing about many dermal fillers today is that you will see immediate results.  Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid or sugar that will attract water. 

Because of this, you will see some additional swelling or fullness usually within 2-3 days.  This usually resolves within the first week following injection.  Rare patients may develop significant swelling, but is less likely.

Facial fillers fall into three categories:

Juvederm is composed of hyaluronic acid and is thus characterized as a true facial filler. These products fill areas of atrophy and results are immediate.
