Question 1

i have severe bruising 24 hours after juvederm lip injections.. what will help most to speed healing. arnica gel, bromelain pills, heat or cold packs?

Accepted Answer

Time: You need time to heal. The other issues have little value at this point.

Question 2

could smoking crystal affect results of juvederm lip injections?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it: I would be more concerned about the crystal than the juvederm 
Please get to rehab

Question 3

do you know if smoking crystal can affect results of juvederm lip injections?

Accepted Answer

No: No, but I recommend you stop smoking crystal meth because it can be harmful to your body.

Question 4

can over massaging my lips after juvederm cause more swelling?

Accepted Answer

Juvederm: Some patients experience some swelling after injections with hyaluronic acid. It usually lasts a short while. Massaging is not a great idea because you can move the product.

Question 5

how long does it take for swelling around your lips to go away from juvaderm?

Accepted Answer

Not long: Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid similar to that normally found in our skin.  It plumps up tissues around the mouth by drawing water in and holding it there.  Hence, the swelling, that normally lasts for 1-5 days is normal. However, if done correctly the swelling should not be excessive but the minor bruising can last a bit longer.  www.artofplasticsurgery.com.

Question 6

can you have facial filler like juvaderm if you have had an acute subdural hematoma due to a hit on your head?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unless you are on medication to decrease blood clotting. The bleeding caused by trauma is not a contraindication to facial fillers. I am assuming this bleed is resolved and there are no current neurological complications . If they are complications hold off anything as non essential as fillers until everything is stable

Question 7

do you think i should i have a juvederm injection on my lips?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist: Juveder, among other fda approved materials,  has been used successfully for lip augmentation for many years. See a facial plastic surgeon to discuss the right treatment for you.

Question 8

is it possible that juvederm injections in the lips cause lips to wrinkle more?

Accepted Answer

Dont think so: If your lip is overfilled and stretched than I think it possible that after the filler is gone the tissue may look more wrinkled.
I doubt when at the peak of filling there would be more wrinkles.

Question 9

can someone be allergic to juvederm injections? my lips have gotten thin, and i want to have them plumped up with juvederm. i'm worried that i will have a bad reaction to this drug because i have a lot of allergies to different medications. should i be co

Accepted Answer

It : It is possible to be allergic to almost anything...Especially depending on your definition of allergy.

Medically speaking, an allergy is a type of hypersensitivity disorder caused by the immune system. When a person's immune system over-reacts to a normally harmless substance in the environment, we call that an allergy. This over-reaction can bring on an inflammatory response which can range from uncomfortable to dangerous.

The main substance in juvederm is hyaluronic acid - a naturally occuring part of the extracellular matrix.  This is the scaffolding that surrounds all the cells in your body.  Thus, one would not expect an allergic reaction to this product.  With many topical medications (drops for example) the patient thinks that they are reacting to the medication when in reality they are reacting to the preservative in the drop or the carrier molecule.

Sometimes a patient will get a shot and have pain at the site or swelling or bruising and will tell me that they "must be allergic" to the medication.  Although this reaction is not wanted, it is not a true allergy and can happen even with injection of saline solution.

When in doubt...Skip it.

Hope that helps.

Question 10

Three : Three weeks is ok .... In rare cases you may still need a dab of "cover up" if you bruised excessively....
