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.
Thank you for your question and sharing your photo. The swelling should be greatly diminished within a few days. Cold compresses might hasten recovery. If you find the problem is not improving, then Hyaluronidase can be injected. This will dissolve the Juvederm. I hope you look better quickly.
It's too soon , only 24 hours, to judge symmetry after Juvederm injection. Ideally you should wait at least two weeks for all the swelling to clear up. Even mild swelling can give the appearance of asymmetry. It's helpful to compare pre and post injection photos. Rushing to have it removed...
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.
It is common to get swelling after fillers into the lips. It is not normal to have irregularities or severe swelling. If you are unhappy you should speak to your physician and have the area injected with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that reverses the hyaluronic acid filler. For the next...
HA fillers do not damage tissue. Long term improvements can be seen if there is nodules I would consider reversing the fillers with hyaluronidase. Best, Dr. Emer.
I see this a lot and it is due to improperly placed filler. I suggest seeing a well trained cosmetic physician who can do a formal assessment and contour your lip apprpopriate to your face. Best, Dr. Emer.
