I can only fall asleep when I lay on my stomach but am afraid that this will move the juvederm in my face. Also, one side of my face seems puffier than the rest. I'm afraid it's been overfilled.

Answer: Sleeping on Juvederm
Hi,
The answer to your question is simple, sleep on the overfilled side. It is probably better to sleep on your back the first night or two, but we have not seen or heard of any problems from sleeping on the face after Juvederm injections. Hopefully you have a soft pillow, pleasant dreams. Good luck and be well.

Answer: Sleeping after filler Thank you for your question. Normally you should avoid pressure on the treated area for the first 2 hours after injection. However, sleeping with your head slightly raised can help resolve swelling after treatment and you may want to avoid sleeping on your face for the first couple of days to reduce the risks of displacement. Best of Luck!
