Juvederm Ultra Plus Migration
In my experience, Juvederm does not easily migrate in the face. It tends to stay where it was injected and molded into place. I always advise our patients to keep their hands off and do not manipulate the product.

Juvederm Ultra Plus should not migrate
For the first week, you should avoid massaging the areas, retinols and facials. Try to sleep on your back, not on your cheeks. Once any bruising or swelling has resolved, you can return to your normal routine.

Juvederm rarely, ever, migrates
Avoid heavy or aggressive/vigorous massage the first day. It is extremely rare to hear of cases of Juvederm or Restylane migration.

Migrating Not Typically Problem with Filler in Cheeks
Following injection with Juvéderm Ultra Plus, the filler is usually fixed in place and held by the surrounding connective tissue. However, aggressive massaging could cause the filler to become dislodged. We tell patients not to massage the area or to get a facial massage for the first 24 hours after the treatment, but migrating typically is not a problem.

Juvederm Rarely Migrates
Thank you for your question.
Injectable fillers stay in the areas where they are injected and do not move freely under the skin. While it is possible to slightly mold the filler within its injected location it is not possible to manipulate the product into another location, nor does the product move on its own.
If you notice volume migrating it is most likely swelling. Swelling is temporary and resolves spontaneously, usually by about one week after treatment.
I hope this helps.

Juvederm does not migrate
You don't need to worry about Juvederm that has been injected into the skin from migrating. While the product can be slightly dispersed by massage (how we blend the edges), it can't be "milked" across the face to a new location.

Juvederm movement is rare
Immediately after treatment, it is ideal to minimize movement or manipulation of the treated area. After a few days, it is unlikely that Juvederm will migrate no matter what is done to the skin.

Juvederm migration is rare
We have been using fillers in our practice for 15 years. I have never seen migration of a filler and think this is an uncommon issue.

Juvederm Movement after Cheek Injection
The Juvederm will not move as long as you avoid massaging the area for about 48 hours. Be gentle when washing your face or applying skin products.

How to keep the Juvederm from migrating
Juvederm injected in the tear troughs may migrate. Everywhere else it tends to stay put. I don't recommend massaging the injected area for the first day or two as it can mold the gel somewhat differently than intended. But generally, for Juvederm in the cheeks, there is not much concern about migrating.

Juvederm moving after Cheek Augmentation
When we inject Perlane, Radiesse and in rare cases, Juvederm Ultra Plus into the cheks for Cheek Augmentation, I always massage the material to create the desired shape. This should place the filler into the correct area within the tissues and prevent migration. Tissue is like a sponge with layers throughout and doesn't have spaces for the filler to drop or roll into.

How to Care for Your Skin After Juvederm Injections
I advise all my patients to keep a "hands off" approach to the treated areas after any filler injections. At the time of the injection treatments, I will massage all of the filler products so they are exactly where I want them. Once my patient leaves the office they have been instructed to wash the area gently and to use sunscreens and moisturizing lotions as needed. Both Juvederm and Restylane are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the skin. They will often cause...

Juvederm migration
Fillers do not migrate to any extent in my experience if left alone. On the other hand I would not push it around or massage it too much.

Migrating juvederm
Don't worry, it isn't going anywhere. Juvederm is very sticky. Leave it alone and do not manipulate it as very early on it can be manipulated.

Juvederm won't migrate. Don't push the area where you had the injection and you don't have to worry about it.

Juvederm Ultra Plus will not migrate
There is nothing you can do to make it move, just leave the area alone. Most we can do is to mold it a little.

Juvéderm is a cohesive gel and tends to stay where it is put
Juvéderm is a cohesive gel [meaning it naturally tends to stick together] and tends to stay where it is put, so you do not have to do anything to keep it from migrating. Just relax and enjoy the improvement!
