Typically, there is mild swelling and redness at the injected sites for several days after the injections of Juvederm. These are the really common side effects.
There is a more remote risk of other complications, such as, but not limited to, any of the following: prolonged redness and swelling,...

Minimizing Juvederm and Restylane reactions
Both Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid fillers. They provide tissue augmentation partially by plumping tissue via attracting fluid to areas injected.

Ice compress, taking Arnica and fresh pineapple (containing bromelain) before and after...

Juvederm in the lips, Side-effects

Juvederm reactions should be very rare with good technique.
Hi.
Other than a little swelling and bruising, there should essentially be no bad reaction with Juvederm injections. But it all depends on the skill and the good eye of the plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

Prevention of Juvederm reaction
Patients that come in for Juvederm have potential to have a local reation which could consist of redness, swelling pain and sometime bruising! But we offer a vitamedica blister pack which contains arnica montana which prevents bruising and of course ice packs that helps with pain and swelling. So educate as far as a local reaction but reasure them we can treat it and that the symptoms will dissipate.

According to the Juvederm website:
"Side effects were usually mild to moderate lasting 7 days or less and included temporary injection site reactions like redness, pain, firmness, swelling and bumps."
In my practice, though not a reaction, the most common side effect is bruising and swelling. This is generally mild and resolves in a couple of days. As with any injection, allergic reactions are possible though very rare.

Reactions to juvederm and other hyaluronic acid fillers
Juvederm is a very safe formulation of hyaluronic acid which is naturally found in your knee and elbow joints as well as in between the skin cells of your body. Possible reactions include redness which is transient, lumpiness, palpability, a tyndall effect where it can give a bluish tinge if injected too superficially, and possibly an allergic sensitivity. I hope this information helps. The nice thing about this filler is if you do not like it, it can be 100% reversed with hyaluronidase....

Juvaderm risks
The main risks of the hyaluronic acids are that you may develop bruising, lumps from the material and some swelling in the area. I have not seen an allergic reaction to the product although this could happen. We do not test patients like we did with collagen.
