Thank you for your question. If the filler came too close to the surface of the skin, sometimes it can create a whitish hue. Usually that will go away on its own in a few weeks, encouraged by gentle massage. If not, your surgeon can inject some hylauronidase to accelerate its disappearance. A fractionated radio frequency treatment called Fractora is excellent for helping fine lines disappear and that might be something you may wish to consider the next time around after your Juvederm dissipates in about 9 -12 months. Or at that point you could also have 2.5 units of Botox per side (only with a VERY experienced injector) if your lip lines are mild and that will take care of them.Best of luck in your endeavors !Dr. Anna Petropoulos
If Juvederm is too close to the dermis of the skin, sometimes it will leave white dots. Mostly, my experience is that it goes away with time, over a few weeks.. If that's the cause and the patient wishes, one can also inject Vitrase into the dots to make them dissolve quickly over a week or so.
I am not sure exactly what you are referring to. You need to be seen in person to determine what that might be. Check with your surgeon.
Juvederm is a wonderful injection for nasolabial lines, lips, chin, and cheeks. I wish you would post a photo since I am not sure which white spots you are speaking about. It is possible that the product was injected too superficially in thin lines and in those cases I usually inject Restylane Silk or Belotero which are fine Hyaluronic acid fillers specifically designed for fine lines. If the white spots remain please return to your physician since the product can be dissolved with Vitrase. For the best cosmetic results please consult a board certified dermatologist with experience with cosmetic fillers.
Usually swelling from Juvederm in the lips lasts about 48 hours but in some may last a day or two more. You may want to try taking an anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen or Motrin. Cool compresses can help as well.
Juvederm is a great product for replacing lost facial volume. There can appear to be facial unevenness or swelling after the procedure for up to two weeks. You should wait two weeks and if there still appears to be asymmetry return to your treating physician for more filler to correct it. ...
Thank you for the question. There is no connection between Botox or Juvederm with glaucoma. You can limit the risks associated with injecting fillers and Botox by going to an expert with a lot of experience, which it sounds like you are. Good luck.
Thank you for your question. If you have any other concerns please contact your treating physician. It is common to have some swelling after fillers for lip augmentation which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can apply cold compresses to the area to help reduce swelling and bruising. It ...
It is very critical to ensure that lips are perfectly symmetrical since small imperfections are very apparent. Based on your photo you do not appear to have permanent damage to your lips but there is clear asymmetry most pronounced on the right side of the upper lip. You should definitely see...
Many times an injector will try to create a desired outcome with as little filler as possible. This is understandable as filler is expensive and many patients are not able to afford the amount that would give them the optimal result or the result they ideally want. In addition, it is...
