into rolling scars and to add volume in cheeks and perioral area related to aging. I tend to pick at skin when stressed. I try to clean the sebum out of my large pores which always fill back up over time. I did not pick for the first 3 wks after it was injected. Thank you for answering my question

Answer: Will skin picking hurt Juvederm injected 3 weeks ago?
I have never heard of Juvederm causing anything like you describe here. There could be other causes besides the Juvederm. Such as a neurological condition or Bells Palsy. I recommend you have a neurologist or internist evaluate you and do some tests.
Hi there!
Thank you for your query. I would always recommend waiting 48 hours before flying to ensure you aren’t travelling in the unlikely event you encounter any immediate problems post treatment.
Hope this helps!

I do my patients massaging prior to their leaving but tell them that they can massage anything BUT THEIR LIPS if they feel a lump or bump. I hope that they never have a lump to massage as I am very careful about this. However, it is always possible that a little bump can get past me...
