My Face is Still Swollen Four Weeks After Getting Juvederm, What's The Cause?

Are you sure you are expereincing swelling or maybe you were overfilled with product? You should see your doctor for an evaluation.

Swelling four weeks after injection is out of the range of what I would consider normal. You should go back to the doctor and determine whether this is swelling or excess product. Then you can decide on treatment options.

everyone one is defferent, i would ask if this is the first time for you?  

 

also do  skin test for this product

 

lastly call the mfg to ask this

I am slightly concerned that you went back for what you called a "touch up". Juvederm touch ups are not recommended unless very specific steps are followed: 1. Did you pay for the touch up? If NOT, I am even more concerned. Was it a new syringe? 2. Syringes of filler are sterile when they are opened and need to be used all at once. Unless you really know this injector and his/her practices on keeping people's syringes (which can really only be done for a few weeks maximum), you could have gotten a touch up from a syringe which was not actually yours, or that was somehow contaminated. It is NOT normal to have swelling 4 weeks later, but more than that, I am very concerned about this touch up, and what possibly happened as a result of this.

Swelling 4 weeks after Juvederm is not normal. Juvederm does tend to attract and hold water and tissue fluids which may be causing the swelling. Perhaps too much product was injected. Although very unusual, soreness may indicate a reaction to the Juvederm. You need to be examined by your physician.
