How much swelling is caused by Botox or Juvederm?
Swelling and bruising are unpredictable. Swelling from Botox only lasts a few hours. If you develop a hematoma or bruising, this may take several days to resolve. With Juvederm and all the other dermal fillers, swelling can last a few days. Bruising, however, is variable and might be difficult to cover with makeup for the first few days. In my experience, a new collagen product called Evolence has the least bruising and the least swelling. My suggestion would be to have the injections on a Friday, lay low for the weekend, and you should be okay to return to work on Monday. It is important to avoid Aspirin and Motrin for at least 10 days prior to te injection. Use ice compress after the injection help control swelling.
