Botox: Q&A

Can You Use Botox in Same Area That You Had a Juvederm Injection? (photo)

I had a Juvederm injection over my right eyebrow two weeks ago. It left a lump and I want to have it removed with Hyaluronidase. Can I use Botox in that area to smooth out the line? And how long should I wait?

Botox after Juvederm has been melted by hyaluronidase

Thank you for including a photo, since this makes it easier to answer your question with a reasonable degree of understanding of your problem. I'm a little confused as to the reason why juvederm was injected into this area in the first place. Injectible fillers such as juvederm and restylane can work very nicely underneath the brow, but one would not typicaly put this quantity of the material above the brow. At any rate,hyaluronidase will usually do a nice job of melting... more

Botox in Same Area That You Had a Juvederm Injection

Botox may be used after the juvederm bump has been addressed with hyaluronidase. You should wait at least 2 - 3 weeks after the hyaluronidase treatment before doing anything else in the area.

Wait for 2 weeks after hyaluronidase to do anything else in that area.

I would suggest you wait for at least 2 weeks after hyaluronidase to do something else in that area. Even though you will see results of hyaluronidase within a couple of days, you may want the area to settle down a bit, so you can be clear what you want corrected with the BOTOX. It may well be different from what you have in mind, right now!

Botox may be used after the Juvederm "bump" has been addresses and no more manipulation is required in that region.

Lump after Juvederm

The lump can be from excess amount of Juvederm, but sometimes Juvederm is known to attract more water molecules especially around the eye. If the lump is not a hematoma (collection of blood from a bruise) then the excess Juvederm can be injected with hyaluronidase. There is a rare risk of an allergic reaction to hyaluronidasae. The horizontal line above the eyebrow does bother a lot of people and Botox can't be used well in this location because if it drifts too close to the eyebrow, it may... more

Wait and see before Botox.

Please be patient. Injecting Botox too soon to try to smooth out the line may lead to an unrewarding cycle. Wait to see how the area "heals", which can be 4-6 weeks before injecting Botox or anything else for that matter. The face had remarkable healing capability. Your cosmetic surgeon can monitor you during the observation period.

Wait a few weeks after the juvederm lump has settled then its safe to have the area treated with Botox.

Botox and Juvederm Injections....

Yes, Botox can be administered in the same place Juvederm was injected. There are no contraindication to this. For optimal results, I would wait until your Juvederm has been broken down with Vitrase before getting Botox injected. Good luck. Hope this helps. Dr. Grant Stevens

Botox and juvederm in the same area

Botox and juvederm can both be used in the same area, though I typically would inject them at different times or filler first, followed by Botox. If there is a lump or bump, then inject hyaluronidase, and after 2 weeks you can inject Botox if it is deemed beneficial by your doctor.

Can You Use Botox in Same Area That You Had a Juvederm Injection?

Only after the problem is resolved than do Botox. Always best to correct an issue before treating in the same area.

Dissolve juvederm, wait, inject botox if needed

I would have your doctor dissolve the bump with hyaluronidase. Allow this to settle down for a week or two and then you can go bcd and inject botox or disport, if needed. This should not be a problem

Botox + Juvederm in the same area

Hyaluronidase is a great option to dissolve the Juvederm. Once the bump has resolved and everything is back to baseline, you'll get a better idea of how much correction is needed. Botox is a`great treatment for lines above the eyebrow. However, there is a small risk of eyebrow droop in this area. Make sure you discuss this before having the treatment done. Also, make sure your treatment is being done by an expert injector, either a board-certified... more

Botox after Juvederm

In general, Botox can be used in the same area as Juvederm. However, given that you report a bump, you should wait for things to settle down before treating the area further.
