You should schedule your filler appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event. You should also avoid dental procedures two weeks before and two weeks after filler placement.
Avoid anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications, if possible, for 7 days prior to injection. This includes medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3 fish oil supplements, and NSAIDS (such as ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, naproxen, etc.).
Avoid consuming alcohol 24 hours prior to a filler injection appointment.
If you have a history of cold sores, please let the aesthetic provider know, as this may warrant anti-viral medication prior to treatment.

There is no significant downtime. However, we do advise patients to limit certain activities post-injection. Avoid significant massage of the area post-injection unless instructed to do so by the provider. Avoid strenuous exercise or excessive heat or sun for 24 hours post-filler injection, as well as excessive heat or sun for 72 hours. Avoid excessive salt or alcohol consumption after a treatment, as these can increase your chances of swelling. We also advise patients to avoid dental work 2 weeks post-filler injection.

The most common side effects reported include redness and swelling at the injection site. Mild bruising and bleeding could also occur. Some mild pain, tenderness, firmness, and lumps or bumps have also been reported.
One of the risks with filler injection is unintentional injection into a blood vessel. Although rare, the complications could be serious and permanent and include vision abnormalities, blindness, strokes, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring.

The results of Juvéderm® Injections typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used and the treated area. Factors like metabolism and lifestyle can also impact longevity.
