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: 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.

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.
