If you need to exfoliate your lips, I would recommend being very gentle. You just had the juvederm injected two days ago and you don't want to cause it to disperse under the skin. You might also want to try a serious moisturizer for the time being.
there is no reason why you cant exfoliate lightly, but i woudl suggest just using vasrline or ointment type lip balmn. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thank you for your question.At this point you can resume your normal routine. The Juvederm is not going to move. I would just be gentle when exfoliating, it may still be a little tender.

It is okay to very gently exfoliate your lips after Juvederm injections. I would also recommend moisturizing your lips with Vaseline or lip balm if they are that dry.
Our aesthetician swears by baking soda to exfoliate lips. You can mix it with water or even coconut oil to make a paste and then spread it on your lips.

Considering you just had your lips done be very gentle and do not apply too much pressure.
I would prefer you to moisturize with Aquaphor or Vaseline if you are dry from Juvederm injections in your lips. Best, Dr. Green
You can use a lip balm several times a day to moisturize your lips and you can very gently exfoliate with a soft cloth.

Scar tissue can affect lip fillers. It is a denser material than the surrounding tissues and may not respond to fillers the same way as surrounding tissue. However, with very careful placement of fillers in a slow fashion, the surgeon can accommodate this although care is always taken.
