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

September 6, 2010
Asked By:Zetty in Westlake Village, CA

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?
