How long do side effects last with Juvederm?

Yes. Swelling may take up to two weeks to go away and so will most side effects. I recommend you wait two weeks after you’ve been injected, then if the problem persists or gets worse I’d recommend seeing the injector who treated you to determine what is causing the uncomfortable reaction.

Unwanted effect after Juvederm

The typical side effects associated with hyaluronic acid injections such as Juvederm or Restylane include bruising, redness, swelling and pain. These occur in as high as 90% of patients and usually resolve within one week. It is possible that some of these side effects may be affected by the injection techniques such as fan like injections, higher injection volumes, and more rapid injection times.

Pooling of Saliva after Juvederm Injection

The most plausible explanation for saliva pooling after Juvederm injections at the corners of your mouth is that there is some bruising which has temporarily interfered with normal muscle contraction. This will be transient, but consult with your physician.

Juvederm does not cause pooling of saliva.

Hi. Your situation sounds distressing, and is very unusual. I feel there is something we don't know. Could you have gotten some Botox in your lips as well? Botox can relax the muscles of the mouth if not used correctly, and this will cause drooling or pooling of saliva. Whatever the cause, you can rest assured that it is temporary.

This is probably swelling

I am assuming that the Juvederm was injected into your lips....? With that, you might have some swelling making the pooling occur. In the off chance that you actually have too much Juvederm in that area, you can easily have a bit dissolved with hyaluronidase. But I would wait at least a week for all of the swelling to go down before you do anything to it. It should be just fine.

I Had Juvederm 2 Days Ago Around the Corners of my Mouth and Saliva is Pooling in Corners of my Mouth. Will This Go Away?

Having Juvederm injected, into the corners of the mouth, most likely created some swelling or a change in the position of the corners of the mouth leading to this issue. If it's not improved, in a few days, you might consider going back to the MD that did the Juvederm Injections.

Juvederm in corners of mouth

In all likelihood you are suffering from some swelling in the region, and this should get better. If you are unhappy with the filler in a week or two, you can have it dissolved.

Swelling of lips after juvederm injection

You likely have some swelling, which is common after injection with fillers. The swelling should go down. If you still have saliva collecting in the corners of your mouth, see your doctor for a correction. You may need the filler dissolved or massaged.
