Need to Drink Lots of Water After Having Juvederm Injections?

Question

Is it important to drinks lots of water for two weeks after having juvoderm lip injections? I am worried that i have not been drinking enough to get the full result. is this possible?

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

you will probably get the same good result from Juvederm injections into the lips regardless of the water you consume. Juvederm will absorb the surrounding water to bulk up its effect.

There is no scientific data that shows drinking water will improve the results of restylane or perlane.

	The products do pull in the water to help hydrate the area and achieve the desired results, but drinking excess water I dont think helps.

One thing that is confusing is the fact that hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm work by holding on to water, which is one reason they look and feel natural. However, the chemical bonding process that allows this to occur is very strong and not influenced by drinking extra water, or even not drinking enough.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

You do not have to drink any specific amount of water after filler treatment.  You really do not have to do much of anything.

Joseph A. Eviatar, MD, FACS · Answer

No you don&rsquo;t have to drink a lot of water after being treated with Juvederm.  Water consumption will not affect your Juvederm results.
