How Long Do I Have to Wait to Get Another Juvederm Injection?

It's only been 2 days but there is hardly any swelling at all and just a small lump which I knew would happen (although not visible, I can only feel it). How soon can I go back? How long do I have to wait to get another Juvederm injection?

Repeat Juvederm Injections

In my practice, I suggest two weeks between Juvederm injections. Unfortunately there is no good way to tell if all of the swelling is gone except to wait a reasonable amount of time to ensure that it is gone. As to your bumps - as long as the filler is under the skin you will feel a lump or bump but if you see a lump or a bump, see your physician so that he or she can massage it out.

How long to wait between Juvederm injections for Lip Augmentation.

There's no magic time between Juvederm injections and I've always thought was the beauty and customization of these types of fillers.  I would only be sure that the swelling was not an issue before injecting more filler to the area.

Minimum time for Juvederm re-injection

It is usually best to wait at least 2-3 weeks before reinjecting Juvederm in the same area.  The more Juvederm you had placed in last injection, the longer you have to wait.  Hope that helps!

Repeat Juvederm Injections

I usually recommend to my patients a waiting period of two to four weeks before repeating injections in the same location. If your question pertains to a different location, I think you can inject at any time you want.

Juvedern for lip augmentation

I would wait at least two weeks after your previous Juvederm injection before performing further injections for lip augmentation.  It will take about that amount of time to see what the longer term results are going to be and the subsequent injection sites and amounts can be performed more accurately.

Timing for Repeat Juvederm Injection in Lips

Hi chanel1986, Repeat Juvederm injection may occur at any point after the initial treatment. Most plastic surgeons and dermatologist generally suggest waiting at least 2 weeks to allow the improvement of any bruising or swelling.  Dr. Chaboki

Lips augmentation juvederm

Firstly, If you have a "lump" it can be product, swelling, or a bruise. Wait until this resolves and all swelling is gone to add more product. A week is a good amount of time for this.

Juvederm

If you are not completely satisfied with injection of th Juvederm and feel that you need more, you can probably go back within one to two weeks to add more.  This will allow swelling to resolve and any bruising to subside.

Juvederm and Lip Augmentation

Generally speaking there is no waiting period required between treatments.  However, I recommend to my patients that they wait 2 weeks before adding more product.  By then, all swelling will definitely have resolved and a more accurate picture of what is needed to best meet your goals is possible.  Regarding the lump you mention, gentle massage between your thumb and index finger in the early days will help with this.

Well done, most people do not need more than about 1 ml in the lips.

Dear Chanel I have to confess that I am not a big Juvederm for lip treatment fan.  I think the product is great and because of its "smooth"  character, lumps tend to work themselves out.  However, the down side of "smooth"  can be "drift."   Drift is a lack of tissue holding power.  In contrast, Restylane, a competing products is less prone to drift.  Product injected into the lip is much more likely to stay put.  In... more

Repeat Juvederm Injections

Since more than one syringe of Juvederm is often used in a treatment session, there really is no waiting time between treatments. However, for your injecting physician to properly assess the results and be able to more easily see the areas being treated, it would be important for you to wait until all traces of swelling are gone. It is therefore much more prudent to wait for at least several weeks between treatments, even though you may not see any "visible" swelling.  more

Wait time for Juvederm repeat

Juvederm can be injected again anytime after the initial injection. It depends on how long it lasts (generally 6-12 months), or whether a touchup treatment is needed.

Repeated filler injections

There is no contraindication or reason you cannot go back to get additional Juvederm if you desire. That being said, I often caution patients to wait at least a week for the swelling to resolve to make sure they indeed need additional filler. I hope this information helps.

Waiting period for Juvederm injection

Although there is no risk associated with going back sooner to have more Juvederm injected, I generally suggest people wait approximately 2 weeks until the filler has settled and the swelling/bruising have resolved.
