Dealing with the Aftermath of Juvederm

JUVEDERM is a popular dermal filler that is available in two thickness/viscosity.  Like any dermal filler, the results are determined by the injector, i.e., their technique, choice of product thickness and amount used. The patient’s skin texture and thickness/thinness and the physical structure of the area being treated also plays a large role. 

Dealing with the Aftermath?  Should you receive results that are not pleasing to you, there is a product called Hyaluronidase that can be injected into the site to dissolve the JUVEDERM product. 

I want to reassure you that bruising after Juvederm injection to the lips can happen and will resolve completely in 7 to 14 days. Next time, ice pack application to the injected areas for the first 24 hours can be very helpful. You do not have to do it all the time; just fifteen minutes of every hour should be fine, until you go to bed. Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E for seven to ten days prior to the procedure. Also, if whitish blister-like lesions are appearing at the site of injection and bruising, and you have a history of cold sores, you should contact your physician and inform him/her. This break out can be easily treated with just a few days of an oral medication. Best of luck, and I hope after all the bruising is gone you can enjoy your beautiful lips!
