Good Idea to Have Juvederm 3 Weeks Before an Important Event?

I have an appointment to have juvederm for the first time around the corners of my mouth 3 weeks before my daughters wedding. Is this too close to allow for any bruising etc to clear up? Should I re-schedule?

Juvederm Three Weeks Before a Big Event

Juvederm, as with all the fillers, have some possible risks. The most common are swelling and bruising which typically resolve within 1-2 weeks. There are several things that can be done on your part to help minimize your risk, ie. discontinue medications that increase bruising. Our office gives our patients this list and has patients stop everything from aspirin to vitamin E, 10 days prior to the injection. If you seek out an experienced ... more

Downtime after Juvederm

Hello and thank you for the question. Three weeks should give you plenty of time to heal/swelling & bruising to resolve, following treatment with injectable fillers. You may want to consider taking Arnica Montana during the peri-procedural period to lessen the potential bruising. Also, I would suggest avoiding any products that may exacerbate bruising such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils. Best, Glenn Vallecillos, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Juverderm before an important event- what to consider

3 weeks should be fine. There is usually very little bruising, and swelling usually resolves after the first few days. Make sure you are off all aspirin based products at least a week before the injection. I do have one additional piece of advice- I generally recommend that patients don't try anything like this for the first time before an important event. You just want to make sure that it is the look that you are going for.

Juvederm recovery

3 weeks is more than enough for recovery after a Juvederm treatment. There may be a little bit of swelling at the day of treatment

Juvederm 3 weeks before an event

Usually bruising from Juvederm injections does not last past two weeks. I would advise you to get off of all blood thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, Vitamin E, omega 3s and others before injection. Talk to you injector about his or her preference, but in the end you will probably be okay. However, you shouldn't do it less than 10 to 14 days before.

Juvederm 3 weeks before an important event

The most common risk of injectables like juvederm, restylane, botox, dysport, perlane or radiesse is bruising. You may have little to no bruising but if you do get a bruise it can take up to 2 weeks to completely resolve. By 3 weeks you should look great for your daughter's wedding. You can limit your risk of bruising by avoiding Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Motrin, Aspirin or Ibuprofen 10 days prior. Avoid having injectables during menstruation.... more

Juvederm and Bruising

Bruising can occur after Juvederm injection, but in the majority of patients treated by experienced injectors, it is not an issue. I would avoid aspirin, ibuprofen (all NSAIDS), vitamin E, fish oil, any exotic supplements (echinaciae, ginkgo, st. john's wort), and herbal tea for a week to ten days prior to your procedure. All of these products increase your chance for initial bruising and can prolong bruising.

Procedure prior to big event

Contact a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concerns. When injected properly, Juvederm produces great results. The key is to have your injection performed by an experienced surgeon. Upon consultation, your surgeon will be able to discuss the benefits and possible risks so that you can determine the best time for you to have treatment.

Juvederm before daughters wedding...

3 weeks is typically plenty of time for the healing process to take place before an important event. I do not recommend any treatments closer to your daughters wedding. Juvederm injections to the corners of the mouth are very complimenting if done correctly. If you should bruise with these injections, you can easily expect a 7-10 day average healing process. You can also take Arnica Montana tablets to decrease any inflammation... more

Juvederm is fine to do three weeks before a social function

Please see a very experienced cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who will listen to your concerns prior to the treatment. You can always add more product. Don't inject too much at one time. Look with a mirror before it's all done to see your progress and make sure you're happy with what you see before too much is added. If you get a bruise it will be gone by two and a half weeks usually. Arnica by mouth, no aspirin for ten days before the filler, no... more

Three weeks before an event is good timing for Juvederm

If there is any bruising, it should resolve by a 7-10 days after injection. To minimize the chances of bruising you want to avoid certain things for two weeks before injections: - aspirin (unless prescribed by a doctor - you would need the doctor's permission to discontinue) - NSAIDS, over the counter pain medications, like Motrin, Advil, Nuprin, etc - vitamin E, fish oil, gingko biloba, ginseng The most important thing about filler injections is to have them... more

Juvaderm Post Injection Issues

When injecting Juvaderm, the most important thing to prepare for is post-injection bruising. Some patients get very little, while others get alot. There is no real way to know who will and who will not. The only thing that someone can do to help themselves along is avoid any NSAID products ( motrin, alleve, aspirin, etc.) for at least a week before and after. Tylenol products are fine, but all the others increase bruising. Even weh some patients get bad bruising... more

Allow one week for post op bruising and swelling from Juvederm

In the worst case scenario, bruising or swelling will last 7-10 days following Juvederm or Perlane injection. However, most of the time, it resolves in 3 days if it occurs. It does not always occur.

Cosmetic procedures are best not scheduled before important events

Cosmetic procedures are best not scheduled before important events. No matter how safe the procedure anyone can have an adverse event at anytime and why ruin a good time at a party?

Juvederm and bruising

As with any filler injections there can be bruising, but the bruising is usually gone within 3-10 days. I suggest that every patient not take aspirin, aleve, or advil for 10-14 days before doing any injections to decrease the chance of bruising.

Three weeks is plenty of time between Juvéderm and an important event

Three weeks is plenty of time between Juvéderm and an important event but when my patients are planning a wedding I remind the of all the other things that precede weddings, like bridal showers. I suggest that aesthetic preparations ideally be completed a couple of months before a wedding, so that they do not interfere with pre-wedding activities. As a practical matter, most people look great within a day or two of Juvéderm treatment. As with any injection, there is a risk... more

Healing Time for Juvederm

Threee weeks is plenty of time for the swelling and bruising to go down after Juvederm injections. Apply ice immediately after the procedure and consider taking Bromelain tablets twice daily for 3 days after the procedure. Also, you should avoid aspirin, fish oil pills, vitamin E, and any other medications that will increase bleeding time and increase the chance of bruising.

Juvederm and future events

Three weeks should be more than enough time to heal from filler injections. At most, there may be some bruising and that usualy goes away in a few days to a week.
