How Long Does It Take for Juvederm to Settle in? Mine Looks Awful 5 Days Post Injection!.

HI there! 
I always suggest around 2 weeks for settle in time for juvederm. If at this point the results remain unsatisfactory, check in with the injector for review. Best wishes,Dr Rupert

Typically I encourage my patients to give it 14 days before any adjustments are made.This particular type of filler reminds me a lot of clay, where we can mold and shape etc... when they come back on day 14. We automatically schedule a 14 day appointment before they leave.Injecting filler into the tear trough area requires great skill because the skin is very thin etc... make sure whoever is is injecting has been properly trained for this area. 

I usually recommend wait 2 weeks for the swelling to settle. If you still have concerns after that I suggest some Hyaluronase to dissolve the product and then re inject. If you’re worried make an appoint and review with your injecting doctor/nurse.

Swelling may last 7-10 days.  If injected properly there should be minimal swelling in the under eye area.  Juvederm can be reversed by hyaluronidase injections.  Regards Anil Shah 

Usually, I recommend waiting for two weeks or so before administering hyaluronidase, as this allows for enough time to pass for the swelling to go away. The swelling may be hiding your results, and if you have the hyaluronidase now it may "over correct".

  I agree with the other doctors who replied.  Five days is too early to assess your results after Juvederm and this is particularly true when injected below the eyes.  Give it at least two weeks to settle in.  The consult with your doctor if you are still concerned.

I tell patients to wait 2-3 weeks post-filler and encourage them to make a follow-up appointment to be seen in that time frame on the day of their treatment. That is usually enough time to reliably assess the results. Prior to 2 weeks there can still be swelling that does not give you the "final picture".

Dear Rija, 
I am sorry to hear that you feel disappointed in your treatment. It is fairly common to have some bruising and swelling at the injection sites. This will settle over the next week and by two weeks you should be looking like yourself but a little fresher. If at two weeks you still feel the look is not right then you should be reviewed by your doctor so he can do a full  assessment.
 It is possible to dissolve juvederm if you are really unhappy at two weeks. 
Wishing you all the best and hoping all the swelling settles soon.

Thank you for your question! It takes up to 2 weeks for swelling and bruising to subside, so it's difficult to assess what the final outcome is at only 5 days post-injection.  Furthermore, the skin around the eyes is very thin - about the thickness of an eggshell, so swelling and bruising is typically more pronounced in this region.  After 2 weeks, if you are still not satisfied, you can follow up with your practitioner and have them inject hyaluronidase in the area to dissolve the filler. Best of luck!
