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. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago

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.
