I would recommend waiting at least a week after your Juvederm cheek filler to have a clearer understanding of the results. Swelling is common for a few days following the injection, and it typically improves with time.

Swelling after a procedure can take up to two weeks to completely resolve. During the first couple of days, you can help alleviate swelling by using cold compresses and keeping your head elevated. If you still have concerns after two weeks, it is recommended to return to your injector for an evaluation. If desired, the product can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.

Swelling after a procedure will start to subside within 3 days and may take up to two weeks to fully resolve.

Thank you for your question and for providing your photograph. Based on my experience, I advise patients to wait for approximately 2 weeks after the procedure to allow any swelling or bruising to subside and to fully evaluate the final results. If you still have concerns or questions, I recommend scheduling an in-person reevaluation with your injector. They will be able to assess your specific situation and provide guidance on the best course of action. I hope this information is helpful, and I wish you the best of luck with your treatment.
