How long does it take to completely recover from Juvederm injections?

Thank you for your question. Juvederm is a great product it can last anywhere from 6-12 months and downtime usually depends on the person. Some people bruise differently than others. I always give a week or less for downtime. There will be swelling and bruising for a few days. Avoid using any Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Fish oils or any herbal supplement this helps with bruising. Best of luck!Dhaval M.

Hello,

Thank you for your question. This answer can vary from person to person. Usually most of the swelling is done within a week. However some people have even less downtime, and others can swell and bruise for up two weeks. Where you are injecting the product, how much you are injecting, and how you are injecting it can all effect your recovery time. Good luck!

Most swelling resolves in about three to five days, but it can last up to two weeks. Bruising will also go away in this time. While you can go back to work right after your treatment, your appearance may be affected by swelling. You should also refrain from drinking alcohol, smoking, performing vigorous physical activity or extreme temperatures for the rest of the day to help facilitate your recovery.

When skillfully done, Juvederm injections result in very little swelling most of the time. However, it does vary from person to person, and areas such as the lips will stay swollen for a day or two. Avoiding antiocoagulants such as ibuprofen or aspirin for several days prior will minimize bruising.

The majority of patients look great the next morning with a little makeup to cover any little red dots that they might have, and most don't have any by then. Bruising is always a risk, and sometimes it is more difficult to hide the bruise with your general makeup, and you might need to use a concealer underneath your makeup.

There is typically minimal recovery time (measured in hours) after Juvederm. Most commonly, I inject Juvederm into the lips. In order to do this, I utilize a dental block which leads to numbness of the upper and lower lip for about 1-2 hours. The sensation of numbness also affects proprioception and the lips feel large until the block wears off. Swelling is typically mild and resolves with 2-12 hours. Bruising rarely occurs unless a patient is taking aspirin or another NSAID.

Thank you for your question. Recovery time can vary from person to person. Typically there is some bruising and swelling and should resolve within 2 weeks. I recommend avoiding any NSAID’s such as Ibuprofen before or after treatment as they tend to thin the blood and lead to increase bruising and swelling. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to discuss your concerns and to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Facial fillers are usually accompanied  with the risk of bruising. It is hard to predict but does not occur frequently at all in a healthy person. These bruises can be  covered by makeup and are usually gone in 7 days. Facial swelling is usually gone in 24 hours. Avoid ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, garlic, excess vitamin E and red wine for a week before treatment.

Juvederm is a Hyaluronic Acid Filler, which works extremely well to increase facial volume and elasticity - as well as increase the body's natural collagen production.  Juvederm is an excellent choice when used to treat moderate facial lines, nasolabial folds, hollow areas of the cheeks and face, and scars. 

Recovery time after Juvederm is quick, you should be able to return to work and other normal activities the same day.  The possibility for side effects does exist, including redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, itching, and more rarely, thickened bumps around the injection area.  These should all be temporary, and they will resolve on their own in 1-3 days. 

 

 

The most common complications related to juvederm treatments are swelling bruising which generally resolves in a couple of days. Proper technique by an experienced and expert injector and the avoidance of products such as Aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E and fish oil will help minimize or eliminate complications. Proper use of ice and compression may also help minimize bruising and swelling.
