Advil should be avoided a week prior and post injections to decrease the chances of bruising. Tylenol would be the best alternative to help with discomfort. Hope this helps.
I suggest taking Tylenol instead of Advil incase there was any bruising, also using ice packs would help calm the area
Thank you for the question. In general, I recommend Tylenol and ice after filler injections. There is a small risk of increasing the bruising with aspirin and ibuprofen products (including Advil).

Sure – the risk of bruising fromthe Advil is much less a day after the procedure (unlike before the procedure).
It is best to avoid Advil, green tea, omega-3's, vitamin E and alcohol one week before having filler injections and one day after to diminish the potential for bruising.
I recommend Tylenol over Advil just in case there is any bruising that occurs. Best to ak your injecting doctor...
I recommend Tylenol over Advil or Aleve post fillers. Just in case there is any bruising, these other meds thin the blood a bit and make bruising worse. Tylenol and/or ice is best.

I recommend to all my patients to sleep on their backs for 3 nights following filler injections. This time allows the product to settle. Over long term, if you apply consistent pressure each night to one side of your face you may see a decrease in one side vs the other. Hope this helps.
There are a number of regions that fillers can retain fluid or become swollen. One of the late concerns would be infection with a bacteria thT can form a biofilm. I would suggest that you be evaluated by your injector and get a second opinion if your injector is not board certified. Good luck
Hi,Voluma was designed specifically by Allergan for mid face augmentation. Placed correctly, it does give a gentle lift of the face by elevating the cheekbones. Another plus is that feels soft and natural. On the off chance that you don't like it, it can be easily dissolved...
With Botox treatments every 3 to 4 months, the skin can rejuvenate in that area. If you want instant gratification, Restylane-L or JuvedermXC can be used skillfully in the depressions. Filler along with Botox will give you the best and longest results.
Yes, you can use the derma roller after your Juvederm. I would advise waiting 2 weeks after filler before undergoing micro needling. This will allow the swelling, bruising and other side effects of your filler treatment to dissipate adequately enough.
Hyaluronic acid is proven to be safe and effective. Ensure you have an experienced injector working with you to achieve the look you desire. The Medical Director will discuss your medical history to ensure you are a good candidate. Thank you for the question.
