I am flying away on holiday three days after a scheduled juvederm filler appointment in my cheek area. I've had filler in my lips in the past and the swelling usually went down within 12 hours with minimal bruising. Should I be concerned about getting them done so close to going away?

Answer: Juvederm swelling Hi cloudsjj,Thanks for your great question. Unfortunately, there is no way to definitively predict how long you will have swelling and/or bruising with cheek filler. In general, swelling can last up to 2 weeks, so it is possible you will still have some swelling/bruising during your holiday. However, the fact that your swelling tends to resolve very quickly is a good sign. Additionally, since lips are usually especially prone to swelling, the fact that your lips didn't swell for long is an even better sign. In the end, I think you will just have to decide whether getting the filler is worth the risk that there may be a little bit of swelling and/or bruising on your trip. Best of luck!

Answer: Juvederm before a holiday Dear Cloudsjj, Unfortunately it cannot be guaranteed that you will have no bruising or swelling post procedure. Ideally leave at least a week before flying out of the country. This will allow for most bruising and swelling to have subsided. Have a fabulous holiday
