How long does it take to see results from Juvederm?  I just got some in my nasolabial folds and lips, and I can't wait to see how it really is going to look.

You should see results already

With most of the injectables, what you see is what you get. There is some minor swelling and bruising, but for the most part, you should see the results the same day. After a week, most of the swelling should be resolved. Many doctors correctly under fill the areas being treated, with the expectation that you may need further injections. This is not a scam to make more money, but a way to ensure that you are not overdone. Once the filler is put in place, it is very hard if not... more

Juvederm Results

With Juvederm or Restylane you will see immediate results. However, I find that they absorb some water and you will see your final results in 3-5 days. Remember, there can be some trmporary bruising and swelling for a few days.

Waiting for Juvederm results

Hi Lilley, If anything, the results you would see immediately after injection would perhaps be a bit fuller than the final results because of swelling. The amount of swelling depends on the skill of the practitioner, the area injected and the amount of icing used before and after treatment. If you've got swelling after your injections, then the "final" results should be seen after about 1 week. Hope this helps. Good luck.

See Juvederm injection results immediately!

The wonderful thing about many dermal fillers today is that you will see immediate results. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid or sugar that will attract water. Because of this, you will see some additional swelling or fullness usually within 2-3 days. This usually resolves within the first week following injection. Rare patients may develop significant swelling, but is less likely.

You will see Juvederm results instantly, with subtle changes in the 1st week

Juvederm is a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based filler. You will see immediate results after the injection. HA based fillers are hydrophylic, which means they attract water. In the first few days after injection the area typically gets softer and any bruising or swelling resolves. Occasionally, patients may benefit from additional volume of filler to acheive "optimal correction". I would wait about 2 weeks after injection and if you have any questions about the result then follow up with... more

See Juvederm Results

The greatest thing about the fillers available today is that, unlike surgery, fillers deliver virtually instant results. If anything, you might look a little swollen for a short time following the injection, but you definitely shouldn’t have to wait a few days to see your wrinkles fill in. If you don’t see any noticeable improvement in your wrinkles very soon after your treatment, you should definitely follow up with your surgeon or injector, as additional filler may be needed.

How Long Before I See Juvederm Results

Juvederm works instantly to augment the lips or cheeks or to fill in soft tissue deficits to soften the face. It may swell just after injection and last for 1-3 days but the effect is instant. After 2 weeks it is good to follow-up with your plastic surgeon to see if there are any imperfections that need to be addressed.

You will see Juvederm effects immediately post injection then there will be some swelling for a few days and the Juvederm will absorb water. But basically the correction that you see after injection is how it will look.
