How to Keep Juvederm Ultra Plus from Migrating?

Question

I Just Had Juvederm Ultra Plus Injected in my Cheeks, What is the Best Way to Keep the Filler from Moving Around?

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

While Juvederm doesn't usually migrate, you can help minimize any risk of migrationg by not touching or rubbing your face after your treatment. You shouldn't massage the area, and if you find that there are any lumps or bumps, please see your injector so that they can massage these out for you.

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

Avoid heavy or aggressive/vigorous massage the first day.  It is extremely rare to hear of cases of Juvederm or Restylane migration.

Timothy Jochen, MD · Answer

Following injection with Juv&eacute;derm Ultra Plus, the filler is usually fixed in place and held by the surrounding connective tissue.  However, aggressive massaging could cause the filler to become dislodged. We tell patients not to massage the area or to get a facial massage for the first 24 hours after the treatment, but migrating typically is not a problem.

Thank you for your question.

	Injectable fillers stay in the areas where they are injected and do not move freely under the skin. While it is possible to slightly mold the filler within its injected location it is not possible to manipulate the product into another location, nor does the product move on its own.

	If you notice volume migrating it is most likely swelling. Swelling is temporary and resolves spontaneously, usually by about one week after treatment.

	I hope this helps.

Juvederm won't migrate. Don't push the area where you had the injection and you don't have to worry about it.

Jeffrey Weinzweig, MD, FACS · Answer

Juvederm usually does not migrate. It is best to avoid touching or masaging the area after you recieve the filler.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

If the injector is an experienced and expert physician, then juvederm migration is rare.From a patient perspective, do not massage in the area, follow post treatment directions, and request clarification prior to doing any activity that may displace the product.

Martie Gidon, MD, FRCPC, FAAD · Answer

For the first week, you should avoid massaging the areas, retinols and facials. Try to sleep on your back, not on your cheeks. Once any bruising or swelling has resolved, you can return to your normal routine.

Louis W. Apostolakis, MD · Answer

You don't need to worry about Juvederm that has been injected into the skin from migrating. While the product can be slightly dispersed by massage (how we blend the edges), it can't be "milked" across the face to a new location.

Elizabeth F. Rostan, MD · Answer

Immediately after treatment, it is ideal to minimize movement or manipulation of the treated area. After a few days, it is unlikely that Juvederm will migrate no matter what is done to the skin.
