1: Does Juvederm only attract water at the precise place where it is injected and where the Juvederm is, or does it also attract water a just a few millimeters ( 1,2,3or 4 ?) around the place where it is injected so a wider area is gained in volume ? So how precisely is the effect of Juvederm.

Juvederm and Restylane act as fillers by binding water

Both Restylane and Juvederm bind water molecules. As the months pass and some of the molecules of the filler dissolve, the remaining molecules now have a wider surface area that can bind more water and maintain its augmented volume replacement effect. This is different than the older collagen fillers that would constantly lessen their volume as they dissolved. Exactly how many millimeters of water would be bound beyond the molecule of Juvederm or Restylane may not be known. It certainly... more

Juvederm - precision

Juvederm does attract some water but in terms of measuring it in mm - I don't think there is an answer.

Juvederm will diffuse slightly so correction is not precise

Juvederm tends to spread a little from the area of injection.  This is good in some areas and not in others.  To answer your question, the correction, which also involves water absorption, will not be exactly where you place it, but close.

Juvederm

Juvederm does attract water as it resorbs. The original effects will be seen immediately and directly in the area of treatment. I do not think your question can be answered specifically because I do not think anyone would know that exactly. Likely water is attracted and may cause some swelling in the local tissues as well.
