I am set up to do Juvederm in two days in my Nasolabial folds. I'm only 29 but they're really deep and I can't stand it anymore.After reading up on it, though, I getting kind of nervous. I haven't scheduled any time off of work and have several school functions to attend on Thursday-Saturday following the injections.Am I being too optimistic that I won't have side effects? Should I plan on downtime?

Answer: Don't risk it; bruising can happen at any time This is an elective procedure and you have had your condition for a while. It is not worth doing, especially your first treatment, so close to these social functions. Give yourself a week after treatment in which you won’t mind too much if you get significant bruising. But keep in mind that even if you have had this treatment quite often with no bruising, it is possible any time you get a filler, so never schedule it right before an important function. Avoid blood thinners, if possible, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, garlic supplements, ginko, etc. for at least a week prior to the filler to minimize the chance of bruising.

Answer: No Downtime for Juvederm You don't need any down time but one out of ten people will get a bruise that takes about 2 weeks to completely resolve. That means if you have any immediate functions coming up in the next week, then post pone your injections.
