Hi! I got 3 vials of juvederm two months ago and another 3 five days ago. I am shocked at how bloated my face looks. Even though I weight the same, I look awful compared to May, when the photos with darker hair were taken. Is the puffiness the result of juvederm? Or the result of a poor lifestyle? (Six months ago I got into a stressful relationship, started smoking, stopped eating fruits and vegetables, and stopped working out.) How do I make it go away?

Answer: Is my facial bloating from Juvederm or a poor lifestyle? Hello Mmdroeger,Without seeing photos it is hard to comment. However, you indicated within two months you have had 6 syringe of Juvederm. That is quite a large amount. Given how much volume you've had injected it is possible that if you feel your face is more puffy it is the Juvederm. To verify this you can have it dissolved with hyaluronidase. If that resolves your problem then you have your answer. I would recommend you receive your injections from one of the core aesthetic physician injectors to help avoid an overdone look.I hope this helps and good luck.

Answer: Puffiness after 6 tubes of Juvederm All Hyalaruronic Acid Fillers, including Juvederm can cause swelling. They all tend to absorb water after they are injected. If they are placed in a deep area, they are great for replacing lost volume. If they are used more superficially, they can be associated with swelling and even bruising. Some swelling that occurs within a few days after the injections should be expected. This can be related to needle trauma which is normal and it usually goes away with just ice in a few days. If too much filler was used, then you may look swollen or puffy for a few months. If that is the case, your doctor can dissolve some of the juvederm with a chemical called Hyaluronidase. 6 tubes of juvederm may be too much for you, but it may not be too much or even not enough! To be more specific, I would need to see some before and after pictures. In the future, you may wish to add the Juvederm more slowly, maybe 1 or 2 tubes per month until you have the desired amount of correction.
