No Results with Juvederm, Does it Take a Few Days to Set In?
I had 1 syringe of Juvederm done to my smile lines yesterday. I am a 34 yo with very subtle smile lines. When I came home I found out that the injections were done right into a line on one side (where I developed a hard pea sized lump) and quarter of an inch OFF(!)the smile line on the other side (where there is no improvement at all). Overall there isn't any improvement to my lines. My smile looks uneven. Is it normal? Will the filler "set" within the next few days?

The Juvederm results you describe are not typical for wrinkles
It often will take more than one syringe of Juvederm to get complete resolution of the lines and folds by the mouth. On average, 2 syringes are needed. The lump you describe could be swelling, but could be over injection in one spot and needs correction. The fact that you think the Juvederm was not injected into the right place is worrisome. I would go back and see the doctor so he/she can correct any problems. If the doctor can't or won't, then find a different doctor with...

Not normally, but give it a few days and discuss with your doctor
Not normally, but give it a few days and make sure to discuss your conerns with your doctor. It could be poor technique depending on the expertise level of your doctor.

No Results with Juvederm
Juvederm is Hyaluronic Acid which absorbs water upon i njection, thus some swelling is to be expected. The swelling will last a day or two.
Lumps from Juvederm are due to uneven pressure resulting in too much being injected in one spot, or too superficial injection or both.
If it is too superficial, there may be a bluish tinge (Tyndall effect). In this case, using an enzyme, Hyaluronidase, or manually expressing it after a small nick with a # 11 blade may be very...

I think the results of Juvederm should be immediate. People don't always see it because of the post injection redness and needle marks

No Results with Juvederm, Does it Take a Few Days to Set In?
A posted photo always helps. But just from your description you had to little injected, sounds like you needed 2 to 3 syringes. Results of ant filler are immediate IF enough was given. Either you were trying to save $'s or your injecting doc ran out?

Hopefully things will improve over the next few days but it does not seem to be likely. Injecting fillers is as much an art as it is a science. Please remember, your results depend upon the skill and experience of your physician injector. The effectiveness of your treatment depends on your physician’s ability to visualize the desired changes and to select and skillfully administer the best treatment. Since every face is different, the experience and technique of your physician injector...

Juvederm one day later
The day after injection you might have slight swelling. You should not feel any hard lumps and the results of the filler should be visible. One syringe of Juvederm does not go a long way and that might be the problem. A little in every area and not enough anywhere. This problem sometimes occurs when a patient wants everything fixed on a "budget" and ends up unhappy with it all. Go back to your doctor and see what they think. Discuss your concerns and maybe you will both end up...

Juvederm
Juvederm like any other filler has to be injected correctly, and enough volume needs to be used to give a nice result. In most cases, one syringe split over several areas is usually not enough. As for bumps, this is usually due to poor technique by placing it too superficially or too much in one area..

Results of Juvederm to smile lines will results get better?
Sadly, no. The results of fillers like Juvederm restylane, Perlane and Radiesse are immediate. You get what you see minus a small amount of swelling but never will you get more of a correction the next day or later.

Swelling After Hyaluronic Acid Filler Injections
The results of Juvéderm should be immediate. Did you look at your results in the doctor’s office immediately after you were treated? Or for the first time when you got home?
The swelling may not always be uniform so it can alter, mask, exaggerate, or distort the results of filler injections for up to several days following treatment. The use of cool compresses, for 24-48hours following treatment, may help to reduce swelling and bruising. The filler will not “set...

Results from Juvederm
Without seeing before and after pictures, it is impossible to comment specifically on your case. However, one syringe of Juvederm is often not enough. Also, the injections should be in the actual line but also feathered into the cheek to form a smooth transition. One day later, you may just have swelling. However, if you have issues, then you should address these with your injector.
Good Luck.

Juvederm and Swelling...
It is more than likely that you have swelling and the appearance of the end result can be distorted for a few days to a week. If you are still concerned after a week, I would recommend you to follow up with the provider who injected you. If the areas that were injected need more then they will then advice you on your options. If the product in the area need to be dissolved, there is an injection that can be done to reverse the effects of the Juvederm...

You should return to the doctor who treated you
While there may be a bit of swelling after treatment with any filler, including Juvéderm®, your results should be stable and satisfactory within a few days.
If not, you should return to your doctor for advice and corrective treatment if necessary.
Leading physicians who administer Juvéderm®, Restylane® and other hyaluronic acid [HA] fillers keep hyaluronidase in their offices to correct areas where there is too much HA, or for very rare emergencies where a...
