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

It would be best if you book a follow up appointment with your injector in 1-2 weeks, and he/she can massage any residual lumps or bumps at that time.I recommend you do not massage them yourself.

Dear Zetty - It does not take much effort to spread the filler around in the first couple weeks after injection. I specifically ask patients to NOT massage the area. I mold the product with gentle pressure with a Q-tip. The idea is to place to product to fill a fold and if that product is spread out the fold will no longer be filled. Thus, massage can reduce the effectiveness of your filler. Your injector can evaluate your lump, reduce it or add more filler to cover it up.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
