Just had juvederm injection to fix the hollowness in my tear through area 2 days ago. I was told not to press on the area of injection as I might move the gel to areas where it shouldn't be. How many days does it take before the gel sets in? Any other after-care instructions I need to know?
Answer: Displacement Lessens After 48 Hours--Juvederm Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that’s associated with excellent clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction. It’s not unusual for patients to develop lumps and bumps of the lower eyelids following Juvederm injections. When this occurs most practitioners recommend massaging the lower eyelid to mold and remodel the Juvederm and soft tissue. This maneuver can significantly improve the aesthetic results of this procedure, but must be done within 48 hours of the injection. After this period, changes will require reabsorption of the Juvederm or treatment with the enzyme hyaluronidase.If you’re concerned about lumps and bumps in the immediate post injection period it’s important to contact your surgeon immediately. Your surgeon may be able to manipulate your Juvederm and smooth your lower eyelids. After 48 hours you don’t need to worry about displacing your Juvederm.

Answer: Juvederm typically sets in 48 hours. Thank you for your question! Juvederm typically sets in 48 hours. After that time it becomes very difficult to mold. You can ice for 10 minutes of every hour to help with swelling. (A bag of frozen peas is good to use for this because it contours to the shape of the eye). No other aftercare is really necessary. Best of luck!

Answer: Juvederm aftercare Generally, I tell my patients not to massage the filler because I ensure everything is as perfect as possible before they leave the office. After 2 days, usually the filler will stay where it was injected. You can wash you face normally and apply make up in the first 2 days but just do not massage it.

Answer: Tear Trough HA The tear trough area can show the most amount of swelling secondary to several factors. The skin here is thinner, so the injection is performed deep to the muscle. The area has a lot of lymphatics and the filler product may impede, initially with drainage so more swelling (especially in the morning), can arise. With all that, typically by 2 weeks the area is looking the way that it should. Some patients can heal quicker and some may take longer. We typically do massage while the patient is in the chair and instruct them to ice for the first 24 hours. Try to skip a workout the first day and return to normal workouts after 24 hours. When this area is filled, it can make a subtle, but profound difference for the ocular area. Hope that helps!

Answer: Setting Time for Juvederm You should not press on the area immediatley after. Within two days the Juvederm will be set. After this time the Juvederm should not move.
