Ask a QuestionI Have Started Self Injecting Juvederm Ultra 4 What Precautions Should I Take?
I ordered some juvederm ultra 4 and I've started doing my nasal labial folds. Im just wondering what precautions I need to take apart from the obvious use alcohol wipes and inject far in enough for it to look natural and close enough to the surface for it to show? Any advice? I have seen my doctor do it many times before and the nasal labial folds are easy any tips on how to do the lips?

Hopefully you are teasing us
Hopefully, this is a joke, but in case you are serious, my adamant advice would be not to do it. Calling these procedures easy and querying us on how to inject your own lips and naso-labial folds would be akin to a non-swimmer asking Michael Phelps for tips on how to achieve maximum speed doing the backstroke and butterfly.

Perhaps analysis?
It is just insanity to play doctor. Board certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons spend years learning basics before we perform medical procedures on patients. I have seen horrible complications from self-treatments such as what you are considering. You have no idea the location of major arteries that if hit, can cause severe adverse events. You do not know the depth or angle to inject. You have no idea how to manage complications that can happen even under expert care....

I Have Started Self Injecting Juvederm Ultra 4 What Precautions Should I Take?
You may be tempted to inject yourself with fillers or Botox, but I would not recommend injecting yourself. Injections can cause a number of problems if not injected precisely besides the obvious cosmetic problems. If these problems occur, you would need immediate treatment to prevent or ameliorate some devastating consequences. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Self-injecting Juvederm
I too am fairly sure that you are joking and wouldn't risk buying some likely illegal or fake juvederm on the internet, and then risking your health, face, and beauty by injecting yourself without proper anatomic and medical training.

Juvederm self injections
Not only should you not self inject Juvederm because of horrible potential side effects, but how do you know that the product you bought illegally is really Juvederm? If your doctor's injection technique appears easy to do, it probably means he is highly skilled. Continue to be treated by him.

Juvederm self injection
Injecting yourself with any filler is simply not safe and not worth the risk. Even in the best hands, complications can occur. Physicians have years of training in anatomy and procedures that you do not. Skilled facial surgeons learn from experienced injectors before treating patients with fillers. If you inject in the wrong area, you could necrose a significant portion of your face. The best advice: Don't do it. Save money at the grocery store,...

Self-treating with filler
It is not a good idea to self inject filler even if youare a doctor or a qualified injector in your community. I suggest you find a physician in yoru area to do it for you.

The precautions are not to be so foolish to "self treat" yourself. I'm sure you can find a doctor to inject you in your area. Be careful
