The most common complications related to juvederm treatments are swelling bruising which generally resolves in a couple of days.

Easy recovery from Juvederm

The most common complication of injectable filler treatments is bruising which usually will show up immediately after the treatment and last a few days.

Juvederm injection recovery

Juvederm injection is a great way to achieve fullness in areas of depressions. This is best for deep facial lines especially in the nasolabial folds. There really is not any significant downtime from Juvederm. There may be some minor bruising and some swelling initially after the procedure, but that is really it.

Recovery from Juvederm injections is fast but varies by area

When skillfully done, Juvederm injections result in very little swelling most of the time. However, it does vary from person to person, and areas such as the lips will stay swollen for a day or two. Avoiding antiocoagulants such as ibuprofen or aspirin for several days prior will minimize bruising.

Recovery is quick for Juvederm

The most common complication of all fillers is bruising. If you don't bruise, you are good to go out the very same day. If you do bruise, concealer usually works to hide it, but the bruise could last several days. To prevent bruising, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E and fish oil for 2 weeks before treatment. Try Prevedem lotion from Neocutis for 2 weeks before the planned injection. Finally, Bruise Relief at your drug store can reduce the incidence, severity and duration of bruises if... more

Recovery from Juvederm

The majority of patients look great the next morning with a little makeup to cover any little red dots that they might have, and most don't have any by then. Bruising is always a risk, and sometimes it is more difficult to hide the bruise with your general makeup, and you might need to use a concealer underneath your makeup.

Recovery from Juvederm only takes a few hours

Juvederm is a true lunchtime treatment. There are occasional areas of swelling or redness but these can usually be covered by make-up. They usually only last a few hours. Cold compresses can help. If there is a bruise it might take a little longer to recover but again the bruise is usually small and can be hidden by cover up.

Juvederm recovery time typically minimal

There is typically minimal recovery time (measured in hours) after Juvederm. Most commonly, I inject Juvederm into the lips. In order to do this, I utilize a dental block which leads to numbness of the upper and lower lip for about 1-2 hours. The sensation of numbness also affects proprioception and the lips feel large until the block wears off. Swelling is typically mild and resolves with 2-12 hours. Bruising rarely occurs unless a patient is taking aspirin or another NSAID.... more

Recovery from fillers or Botox

There really is no recovery from any of these treatments. But you should plan to do them a week prior to any bug event just in case you have a litle bruising.
