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 after Juvederm Sleeping with the head slightly elevated can help resolve swelling after your treatment, and you'll want to avoid sleeping on your face for the first couple of days to minimize the risk of displacement. After the first couple of days, you're fine sleeping however you'd like.

Answer: Sleeping flat after Botox Thank you for your question. I typically focus my aftercare on restricting activities that make you hot, sweaty or flushed: Examples include strenuous activities, alcohol, saunas, hot baths, etc… This will increase your chance of bruising. If no bruising, by the next day, the you should be good to go. If there is, then I recommend another day to make sure the bruise is not getting worse. I am not as worried about the not laying down after four hours or sleeping on one side versus the back..

Answer: Sleeping on Juvederm -filled area should not make it shift
Swelling might be more from placing the Juvederm-treated side down on a pillow while sleeping, but it should not shift the product. If you're concerned about overfilling then see your doctor in a week to two after it was done for an evaluation. It might be hard to judge if the swelling persists because of sleeping on that side.

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!
