Juvederm 2 Weeks Before a Christmas Party?
I have a big holiday party coming up, and I want to look fabulous. I am considering getting some and possibly some filler injections (juvaderm) to spruce up for the party, but I don't want it to look obvious. I have two weeks. Do you think I can I pull it off?

Two weeks is cutting it close.
This is a great question. The short answer is that two weeks is cutting it close for Botox and fillers before an important social event. As others have noted, Botox takes time for the results to show and there is always the possibility of bruising and swelling after injectable fillers. You can minimize the chances of bruising by taking arnica before your filler treatment, but it's not a guarantee.

Two weeks is probably the minimal amount of time needed to see the results of fillers and Botox.
Generally, Botox will take 2-3 days to produce noticeable effects, which will improve over 1-2 weeks.
As mentioned by others, I do not see patients for at least 10 days before considering additional treatment.
While bruising is always a possibility, the risk is fairly minimal with Botox and an experienced practitioner should not produce much if any bruising. The big thing with Botox is that you...

Juvederm / Botox for the Holidays
Two weeks should be fine for Fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm etc) and for Botox IF you had NOT been taking any foods or medications which thin your blood ( such as Aspirin, BC, Goody's, Advil, Alleve, Nuprin, Garlic, Ginger, Licorice, Vit. E, Ginko etc.) and do not have active skin rashes / infections. You may wish to have your doctor prescribe you some Celebrex (if you are NOT allergic to Sulfa) to reduce any inflammatory swelling.
Happy Holidays!

Getting Botox or Juvederm at least 2 weeks before your big Christmas party is smart
The bruising from fillers or Botox can last a week but is coverable by makeup. The swelling from fillers can take 2-5 days to settle down and may need a touch up in a few days anyway. Giving yourself 2 weeks ahead of time is very smart. Good luck!

It really depends upon which injectable you're talking about. BOTOX Cosmetic can easily be injected by an experience injector with very little risk for bruising and other side effects. As such, it is very common for me to inject my patients right before a major event. Fillers are a different story. These tend to be associated with varying degrees of swelling and bruising and so should be injected at least 2-3 weeks before an event. In addition, once in a while it is necessary to touchup...

Juvederm 2 Weeks Before a Christmas Party?
If you are trying to make a Christmas party soon then you should get to your Plastic Surgeon without haste. It takes about 2 weeks to get the maximum effect of the Botox cosmetic and a few days to a week to eliminate the swelling from Radiesse or Juvederm injections.

Juvederm 2 Weeks Before a Christmas Party?
If you choose an MD experienced in fillers for facial shaping, a day or two is more than enough for Juvederm and even Perlane. You should look great by then. There are some medications to avoid and I'd have you limit exercise immediately after the treatment as a further precaution.

Juvederm and Bruising
Getting Juvederm 2 weeks prior to your party should be sufficient time. To control bruising and swelling, it is best to not be on aspirin, fish oil, or other supplements the weeks prior to treatment. Arnica prior to and after the procedure may also help.

Juvederm 2 Weeks before a Special Event
Hello there,
Getting Juvederm 2 weeks before an event should be plenty of time to look your best. I would suggest to stop taking aspirin, fish oil or any other supplements that could cause bleeding and bruising. I would also suggest that you start taking arnica a few days before the injectable and continue taking it 3 to 5 days after. Also applying ice right after the injections can also help minimize bruising and swelling.
Best of luck!

Juvederm 2 weeks before a party is ok if your physician is skilled.
Aside from injections into the tear troughs under the eyes, 2 weeks should be enough time for a reasonable amount of Juvederm, carefully injected, to settle in without a problem. Areas at higher risk for bruising are in the upper cheeks and in the lips themselves, but a careful injector (board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon) and good preparation (avoiding blood thinners and blood-thinning herbs for two weeks prior, icing the area before and after) should help minimize the...
