I just had juvederm done today. Also, they mentioned something about liquid food for today. Can i really move filler by chewing? what about brushing teeth/using dental floss? thank you!
Answer: Aftercare following Juvederm
You should be able to resume Retin-A the day after your treatment. Fillers are injected in a deep dermal, or subdermal plane (beneath the outer skin layer) and they really shouldn't move around or be affected by your diet, chewing, or flossing.

Answer: Retin-A use after Juvderm
There is no reason why you cannot begin Retin A use within 12 hours of treatment. The only exception to this would be in those patients who experience aberrant swelling. A liquid diet after Juvederm is a little bit perplexing. You may have been over-instructed for a relatively low downtime procedure.

Answer: How soon can I use Retin A after Juvederm?
Usually waiting a few days before resuming Retin A or any vigorous treatment over the injected area reduces the possibility of skin irriation and additional swelling. You won't hurt the product but you just don't want to aggravate tissue that might be swollen, bruised or irritated.

Answer: Retin A after Juvederm
Hi Dalila. You can use Retin A immediately after Juvederm. The only issue would be if you were pressing on the face, messaging the area or getting something like a facial. You would not want to do these things for a couple days after treatment.
Not sure why someone would mention what you eat or brushing your teeth. Neither one matter for injections.

Answer: No worry...use it right away if you want, no problem...and eat whatever you want...
want to avoid excessive heat for awhile to minimize the risks of swelling for the trauma of treatment but eat whatever you want...especially things that taste good...like cookies...and don't worry about dental floss and tooth brushing...not an issue
