Does juvederm migrate? i've heard that juvederm can move from the injection site if you're not careful. is that true?

The : The many injectable can be moved in the immediate time period after the injection has been placed. It is not uncommon for injectors to manipulate/massage the regions of interest immediately after injection. Over time, as the body heals from the injection and the region the implant is stable.

The : The skin fillers can be molded in the immediate post-injection period. It shouldn't migrate to a distant location during this time, though.

If : If it is injected properly, then, no. If it is injected into a facial plane, empty space, it will not stay in place and it will migrate. This is why it is important to have an experience doctor do the injections, not an esthetician in a salon. They are not trained in facial anatomy as well as a doctor.

Usually : Usually not any significant or distant migration. Minimal, non cosmetically significant migration in the immediate (first day) post procedure period may occur with manipulation, such as rubbing.

Juvederm: Juvederm can be effective in experienced hands. Be sure to have your face evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Little Migration: Juvederm would migrate only in the local area. It can be massaged and smoothed out, but there is little migration other than a few millimeters or so.

Not Far.: Juvederm can move a bit from the injection site, but not far. If you put pressure on the area you can displace it to the sides a bit and smooth it out (this can be helpful if you have lumps or bumps afterward). It does not move to other areas of the face or body because of connective tissues under the skin. http://www.omahacosmeticsurgery.com/non-surgical-procedures/injectables/
