Does Juvéderm XC take time to show results?

Question

I just got Juvéderm xc injections to my lips and corner of mouth where my lips appeared somewhat down turned. When the Dr showed me immediately after I liked. But,it’s only been 2 hours Im worried that the little improvement I see will be gone when swelling subsides. Is this normal? Basically, what I am is asking is there a waiting period for final results like with Botox or did I not get enough? If I need more when should I go back? Thank you.

I think the simple answer to your question is that the results are fairly immediate, unlike Botox, which can several days before the desired effect is seen at all.  If you already feeling like your lips are not full enough, chances are you will be more satisfied with additional filler. The reason you should wait two weeks is that it takes time for your lips to reach "equilibrium"; swelling from the injection will gradually subside while the Juvederm in your lips is taking on water. You should let this process reach its final conclusion before deciding whether to proceed. Additionally, if you do elect to have more filler, your provider will be able to assess your needs more accurately.

It can take up to 2 weeks after Juvederm Lip Injections to see your final result.  This allows for any swelling or bruising to subside.  At 2 hours after lip injections, swelling may obscure those results.  Be patient!  At 2 weeks, follow up with your injector to evaluate your results and to determine if additional filler is needed for your desired look.  Best Wishes,

It can take up to two weeks to see your final results.  This allows time for the swelling to subside as well as the filler to finalize its volumizing effects.  After that time you can return to your injector for more product if you wish.

It takes 1-2 weeks for final results, which can be gradual. I would wait a full 2 weeks before assessing results. Additional filler may be needed to get the results you want. Hope this helps.

It takes 1-2 weeks for final results. I would wait the full 2 weeks before assessing your results and need for additional filler. Best, Dr. Emer
