After Juvederm is Injected, Should You Massage or Press it out?

Z
ZettySep 6, 2010

At injection the doctor does the initial "sculpturing". If after a few days the swelling has gone down and you see a bump. Can mild pressure or massage work to "fan-out" or decrease the bump?

Surgiderm is not FDA-approved here in the United States. It is similar to Juvederm in that they both are hyaluronic acids and each has different types (Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus are cross-linked differently) and Surgiderm has different concentrations and crosslinking, so that within each...

This is a very bad idea for a number of reasons.It is illegal to buy medicine if you are not a doctor or pharmacy.  Every week we get a fax in the office about a "Canadian" pharmacy that wants to sell us Juvederm at half price. We don't know where the Juvederm is coming from, or what is in...

If you have a good aesthetic outcome, then you probably have not ruined anything. If you see a new lump in an area that wasn't injected, then maybe you squeezed the Juvederm into a different area, but it doesn't sound from what you mentioned that this is the case. Schedule a followup...
