Is there anything I should know about eating after Juvederm?

Question

I had Juvéderm around the sides of the mouth and chin for acne scarring along with subcision. Will eating food cause the product to migrate? How many hours should I wait before eating?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Usually there is no restriction, but if you're concerned, I would wait 2-4 hours. Otherwise, I would follow-up with your injector about their protocols for eating. Hope this helps.

Dear Monique7683,every plastic surgeon has his own protocol which he recommends to his patients but eating should have no effect on your results. I would suggest you to discuss this with your injector.Daniel Barrett, MD

I recommend following up with your injector about their protocol for eating after injections. You should be able to eat 2-4 hours after injections. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. Best, Dr.Emer

I would certainly recommend that you check with your injector about that individual's protocol for post-procedure care.  In my office, we have no restriction on eating after Juvederm.  Our primary instructions include avoiding anything hot applied to the face and increasing oral fluids for the week after the injection of Juvederm or other hyaluronic acid fillers.  Eating should not have any effect on migration of Juvederm.
