Swelling after Juvederm

Typically, swelling caused by Juvederm should resolve in seven days. In rare instances especially when bruising has occurred the swelling could take 4-6 weeks to completely resolve.

Swelling is common after Juvederm and HA fillers

Swelling is a common and anticipated side effect of having a hyalruonic acid filler such as Juvederm.
