Does Botox Interfere with Juvederm Dissolving?

Good question.  As the panel members suggested, the Vitrase will not effect the outcomes of your Botox treatment regardless if done the same day.

As you discovered, product and technique are extremely important especially when working in an unforgiving area such as the tear troughs.  We prefer to use only Restylane in this area and are meticulous to not overfill and to place the product under the muscle to avoid the look of bags under the eyes.

Once your practitioner remedies the problem, you may want to find another injector for tear trough services.  It's also helpful to ask to view before/after photos of one's patients.

 

 

 

The Botox has no effect on being able to dissolve the Juvederm.  Vitrase, when injected in small increments, will dissolve the filler without problems.  As mentioned earlier, I also do not like Juvederm in this area for a number of reasons, including the fact that it has the ability to swell 6 times more than Restylane.

I agree that the vitrase treatment will dissolve the effect of the Juvederm and should not interfere with the Botox.

 

If your filler service is unsatisfactory, have the enzyme treatment to remove the unwanted filler effect.  The Botox service will have not bearing on this service.  I personally do not like Juvederm for this location.  I prefer Restylane because this product is much more likely to hold precisely where it is placed.  It can form a lump so the injector needs to sculpt the product when it is placed but it is unlike to collect under the tear trough which is sometimes seen with Juvederm.

Botox will have no effect on the longevity of a Juvederm injection.  In fact there are studies that show that Botox in the upper lip can enhance the longevity of Juvederm in the upper lip.   Atlanta Plastic Surgeon Dr. Z
