Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How Many Areas Can a Full Juvederm Syringe Cover?
Tricky question
May 29, 2018
Most fillers (including Juvederm) come in 1ml syringes. If you are trying to correct deeper wrinkles, then you will need more product but if the wrinkles are more superficial, then you may not need as much. When at your consultation, your doctor will tell you the correct fillers that are recommended for your smile lines, lips and chin. The same type of filler may not correct all those issues properly. You’ve asked a difficult question because there is honestly no right…
How Long Before I See Juvederm Results?
Juvederm Results
May 29, 2018
You can expect to see results immediately as dermal fillers, such as Juvederm, work differently than Botox, which can take up to 2 weeks for final results. Keep in mind that there will be some swelling and possibly even bruising. The majority of the swelling goes away in less than one week, but in some patients it may take up to 2 to 3 weeks for all the swelling to be gone.
I had my lips injected today with Juvederm and am wondering if appearance is due to swelling?
Swelling with lip filler
May 29, 2018
It’s absolutely normal to have swelling after lip filler, it can take up to 2 to 3 weeks for all the swelling to subside, but the majority of the swelling is gone within 4 days. Not only can the swelling be due to the product used (as it can pull water towards it), but also due to the trauma caused by the needle. It’s too soon to tell if the corners of your lips are asymmetric. Best of luck!
Where Can I Legally Buy Juvederm to Inject my Own Skin?
Safety is key
May 29, 2018
Companies who make Botox and fillers are prohibited by US law to sell to individuals without a current and active US medical license. The reason for this is safety. It has taken all of us doctors on RealSelf many years of training and education to properly treat patients. If you wouldn’t build your own home by hand because you don’t have the skill set, the same goes for injecting yourself.
If I’ve never done Botox before, is it safe to get all 3 areas (forehead, the “11’s”, & crows feet)
First time getting Botox
May 29, 2018
Hi! It’s totally normal to want to test something out, so it’s reasonable to try Botox only in one area (maybe starting with just the 11s). It’ll take about 2 weeks to see the full results and I always ask my patients to come in at that time, so if you like the results you can always add areas at that time.
I am suffering from clenching and grinding.Treatment options?
Improving your cleanching
May 29, 2018
Botox is a great option for clenching and grinding at night when injected directly into the masseter muscles. This will also help with slimming the lower face to add a more feminine look, as unfortunately with years of grinding and clenching at night, those muscles can enlarge/hypertrophy.
Best of luck!
Would you recommend cheek fillers and more under eye filler to help rejuvenate eyes?
Get your best feature back!
Apr 16, 2018
Hi there!
You could certainly use more under eye filler as well as cheek contouring. Depending on what filler you had done in July, it may have dissolved. Most only last 6 to 9 months at best. I would recommend Restylane injected with a cannula to decrease post-procedure bruising as well as Voluma or Lyft to increase cheek volume which will also inadvertently help with under eye hollowing or loose skin there. Good luck!
