How Long Does Pain Last After Juvederm Injections?

It is unusual to have pain nearly 2 weeks following Juvederm. You should return to the practitioner who performed the procedure to be re-evaluated.

I have never seen a patient have pain after Juviderm last past a couple of days, and most of the time they are without pain the next day.  You should be seen by the person injected you to make sure you do not have an infection or hematoma.

To answer your question, most patients have very little discomfort following Juvederm injections...especially this far out.  I would definitely go back and see your injectionist to make sure that something else isn't going on.

I hope that helps!

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid based filler that can be utilized for smile lines and other areas of the face. Juvederm has too lines: Ultra and Ultra plus which vary on the amount of cross linking. Allergan just recently released Juvederm with powdered lidocaine in it called Juvederm XC. This is a wonderful product and obviates the need for lower facial dental blocks. I inject the smile lines with topical anesthetic and ice and it is very comfortable. The discomfort you are experiencing currently, is likely from persistent swelling and possible bruising. This can persist for over 2 weeks. You can try cool compresses to the area daily, but I would return for a check up from your physician.

 

the hyaluronic acids can hurt when injected but both companies, that produce Restlane and Juvederm, have added anesthetic to their products. It may hurt a litte during the procedure but it shouldn't hurt afterwards. Maybe it might be a little hard to smile sometimes right after the filler is injected because of the new pressure, but that is temporary and shouldn't hurt. You should see your doctor to make sure there is no infection, which is very rare with these injections.
