I had Juvederm in my nasolabial folds three days ago and on one side, the substance is not in the actual wrinkle trough, but just to the side of it. For various reasons, I can't get to the doctor's office for several days to have him deal with it, and he told me on the phone to massage it into place.

Any tips on this technique before I give it a go?
