Juvederm 2 Weeks Before a Christmas Party?

The bruising from fillers or Botox can last a week but is coverable by makeup. The swelling from fillers can take 2-5 days to settle down and may need a touch up in a few days anyway. Giving yourself 2 weeks ahead of time is very smart. Good luck!

You can expect to see the results of fillers immediately after injection. In my practice, I use Juvederm as well. It takes approximately 10 to 14 days for fillers to completely settle. The result of dermal filler injections looks extremely natural as well. Getting your treatments 2 weeks prior to an upcoming event is a very good idea. Enjoy your Christmas party.

It’s not unusual for patients to request treatment with
dermal fillers and Botox before important events in their lives. When this situation arises, it’s important
that an adequate interval occur between the event and treatment. This allows time for each of these procedures
to reach their maximal aesthetic benefit. In addition swelling and in some cases bruising may need time to resolve
as well.In the
vast majority of cases, patients look good in 3 to 5 days and can attend social
events without difficulty. Rarely
swelling and bruising may persist for 2 to 3 weeks following treatment. For this reason, it’s fair to say that at two
weeks you’ll probably be able to attend your Christmas party, but it’s impossible
to give you an absolute guarantee.

2 weeks might be sufficient time to have Juvederm done and to have time for healing from the possible swelling and bruising that may result. The swelling normally reduces after 2-3 days. The bruising can last anywhere from 5-10 days. The only thing that may prevent you from healing in time for your event is the small possibility that you may need a touch up if anything is uneven, which may start the healing process over again. If you are thinking about having Botox or Dysport done, keep in mind that the product takes 3-7 days to start seeing the effects and it takes its full effect at 2 weeks, so you might want to allow yourself more time if you need a touchup.

Most people find that bruising and swelling has resolved within several weeks after Juvederm and swelling.  However, for a minority of patients this will take longer to completely disappear.  I prefer my patients to have their fillers at least 3-4 weeks prior to a big event.

I would recommend that you have your treatment at
least 2 weeks prior to your special occasion, as you may have some bruising and
it would be ideal for it to have resolved before your party.
