I had Juvederm in my nasolabial folds three days ago and on one side, the substance is not in the actual wrinkle trough, but just to the side of it. For various reasons, I can't get to the doctor's office for several days to have him deal with it, and he told me on the phone to massage it into place. I think this means I will take my skin between fingers (outside) and thumb (under lip), squeeze, then push toward the wrinkle (I'm thinking toothpaste tube)... I'm just sort of afraid to get started.
Any tips on this technique before I give it a go? TIA!
If you can see the actual thread of Juvederm under the skin this could mean that it was injected too close to the skin. Wait 4-5 days. If you still see the actual thread, your doctor can squeeze it out.
The rule of thumb in medicine is: "When you are not sure, Do Not Touch."
