Tweezing/shaving before or after juvederm?

foreveramber95
Hi,I had juvederm in smile lines+upper lip 2wks ago. I have upper lip hair that I tweeze daily. My surgeon said tweezing ok befor+48 hrs after, but caused indentations and after 2wks swells & red after. Returned in 3 days upset - one side is horrible, he suggested I wait 2 extra weeks.. but no answers. Tried shaving, don't like so back to tweezing today. Next apt Dec1, scared he won't fix it. Questions 1) can tweezing daily cause dents/atrophy where juviderm was injected? 2) Is shaving better.
