Juvederm Stayed in Line After Injection

3767anonJun 12, 2010

I just had juvederm yesterday..there is an apparent "line" (vertically) on left cheek that is hard and noticeable. Will the treated area disperse or will the gel remain? How can I flatten out the area? Its as if the gel did not move but stayed in the vertical line. How can I get it to flatten out? Strange looking..thanks

Fillers can definitely help smooth away these lines, but the first thing you should probably do is to change your sleeping position. See if this helps first.

Bruising after injections can occur. We would advise you to begin Bruisestick ointment containing Arnica and Bromelain.

Any time there is an injection, the needle could cause a bruise even if you can't see a vein in the area. The minute bleeding could occur as a result of a tiny  vein being nicked that is not visible. The slight blood cells travel underneath the skin and reach distant sites, and are...

Juvederm Ultra is used to treat lines and folds that are mild to moderately deep, whereas Juvederm Ultra Plus is for deeper lines and folds. It's more the concern you'd like to have addressed rather than what is considered "softer".

Thank you for your question.   It is very common for the folds to look swollen the next few days.  I would recommend icing on and off throughout the first day or two.  I would then wait a few days to a week and then return to your injector if you still have concerns after that.
