Can massaging 10 days after a Juvederm injection help with the Tyndall effect? Does massaging increase the rate at which the Juvederm dissolves? I had a small scar injected with very very little amount of Juvederm. The doctor said he used about 1/10 of what was in the vile. Is it possible for me to just massage this small amount of Juvederm completely out? I am most concerned with the bluish tint it caused. I would consider getting the Juvederm dissolved but there was such a small amount injected that I think is too risky to do.

I completely understand what happened to you. I have a chicken pox scar on my forehead and years ago I had it filled with Juvederm and it turned blue. What you are seeing is the Juvederm through your skin because it was placed very superficial. If you really don't like the...
With swelling or a "bar of filler" on the side of your nose you may be better off to see your doctor so he/she can assess the situation and offer a solution if possible.
There are 0.8 ccs in one syringe of Juvederm. Two tablespoons have about 30 ccs. The amount of water that binds to the Juvederm once it’s in your subcutaneous tissue is significant so the volume effect is not related to only 0.8 ccs of filler.
