How Long Does Pain Last After Juvederm Injections?

I had 1cc of juvederm divided evenly to my smile lines 13 days ago. The inital pain was fine but now I still have discomfort. Is this normal?

Juvederm for smile lines

Prolonged pain after an injection of any filler could be a warning sign of infection or other issues.  You should be promptly evaluated by your physician.  Please make sure that you receive your treatments by a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experiences in filler injections.

Juviderm should not still be hurting

I have never seen a patient have pain after Juviderm last past a couple of days, and most of the time they are without pain the next day.  You should be seen by the person injected you to make sure you do not have an infection or hematoma.

Pain 13 days after Juvederm for Smile Lines

Hi, It is very unusual to still have discomfort almost two weeks after your Juvederm placement.  Most Juvederm injections now are very comfortable especially with the addition of anesthetic to the Juvederm.  I agree with the other reviewers that you need to see your practitioner to make sure you are not developing a possible infection or other complication especially if there is an ulceration in the skin.   Best, Dr. Liu

To answer your question, most patients have very little discomfort following Juvederm injections...especially this far out.  I would definitely go back and see your injectionist to make sure that something else isn't going on. I hope that helps!

Pain after Juvederm injections

I would recommend returning to your physician so he can rule out other complications that can occur.  I hope this helps. Kindest regards Neil J. Zemmel... more
