Waiting for Second Juvederm Injection on Lips?

After about 2 weeks times it would be prudent to have the injection of another syringe of juvederm.  I would like for all the swelling to subside, which at about 2 weeks time it should all be gone. This way I can analyze the symmetry and make sure that we maintain that.

And this is the time point that you should consider reinjecting Juvederm. Sometimes if there is significant oozing and bruising during the procedure, the swelling may persist for greater than 2 weeks. So waiting a full month is another more conservative option in this setting. Generally 2 weeks is when I have patients come back to have either more filler injected or to have some of it taken out if there is augmentation that is not as desirable to get as perfect results that you can... more

 If you liked the way they looked after the initial injection, then I would wait a few weeks after the injection to have additional material injected.

You can do it after 2 weeks of the initial injection. That is usually enough time to show you the final result. At this point if you feel you need more, go for it. Just make sure you communicate to your physician how much you want. If you want only a little bit more you can ask your physician to use a small syringe of Restylane 0.4cc. Unfortunately Juvederm does not make the small sized syringe. Regards

Although additional Juvederm injections can safely be done immediately, I would recommend waiting 1-2 weeks until the swelling has subsided.  I hope you are able to achieve the look you are looking for. Good luck.

Hi Eden Star, Pucker up and call your injecting physician.  You may have more Juvederm in your lips within 3 days after your initial injections.  Make sure to communicate with your injecting physician your desires. Be well and enjoy your sexy lips. Dr. P

 The metabolism of HA is different in different people.  When you see the product decreasing, you should go in for more injections.  There really is no set time period.  Good luck.
