Should my plastic surgeon be applying ice pre and post procedure to help minimize swelling and bruising? I just had it done and have horrific bruising.....no ice, numbing cream or local was used in my procedure. Please advise!!
Answer: Icing for Juvederm Thank you for your question and for sharing your experience. Icing during and after the procedure definitely helps with swelling reduction. If you feel swollen, then I would continue to ice on and off for 5 to 10 minutes every hour for the first day or two.

Answer: Swelling and bruising after Juvederm Cold compresses can help prep the area and numbing cream can also help. However, Juvederm has lidocaine in it so it's not totally necessary. I have treated patients using nothing and bruising has been minimal. But since you are now in the post-treatment period, you can definitely apply a cold compress to help with the swelling and bruising. Apply a few minutes three times a day or so, keep your head elevated and avoid medications like aspirin that can make bruising worse.

Answer: Icing Before and After Juvederm I would recommend using arnica gel, which is a herbal remedy that can help to minimize bruising.You can also use a a bag of frozen peas, placing it on the area for 15-20 minutes at a time for about 3 or 4 times a day.

Answer: Arnica and Bromelain with Juvederm injections Bruising can occur after Juvederm injections. Our office ameliorates the risk by prescribing Bruisestick ointment to the area after injection. Bruisestick contains both Arnica and Bromelain.
