That is a very good question! No, drinking water will not enhance the amount of water that Juvederm absorbs and does not have the ability to increase the amount of volume you get with the filler. To get increased volume, you will need further filler injected. Take care!
Clients who use high-quality medical grade skincare and regularly take care of their skin will notice longer lasting results from their filler. Moisturisers, drinking water and other treatments like beauty boosters and Skinboosters™ will enhance its effects, helping your skin to remain plump and full.
Consistent Skin Care
Keeping your skin healthy and moisturized can help maintain your treatment results as well. Drinking plenty of water can keep your skin hydrated and enhance the effect of hyaluronic acid fillers.
Drink plenty of water. HA based fillers such as Juvederm work by using the water naturally stored in our tissues, by drinking plenty of water after having a dermal filler treatment it helps the filler hold its chaos and last for longer. Juvederm actually attracts water from to keep your filler looking fresh and full.
Fillers can be intentionally diluted to better address the needs of the patient.
Give the Fillers a Break
Be gentle with your skin, and don't scrub or push on your face during your skincare routine. When you move and poke fillers, they will break down faster, so the more delicate you are with your fillers, the longer they will last.
The Results Improve Over Time
Because these injections stimulate your body's production of collagen and elastin, the final results of treatment won't be seen for several weeks. Even as the hyaluronic acid is processed by your body, healthy collagen and elastin grow at a more significant rate.
Your body naturally dissolves the dermal filler for you over time using a substance called hyaluronidase. This is a naturally occurring material in your body that gradually breaks down the hyaluronic acid in your filler, causing your results to gradually diminish over a period of 6 – 18 months.
Why do dermal fillers cause swelling? Dermal Fillers commonly cause swelling and sometimes even bruising. The injection process disturbs the skin and soft tissue, causing minor trauma to the area, and swelling is a natural bodily response whilst the area heals.

Fortunately, dermal fillers work very quickly, and you won't have to wait twelve months to see the full benefits of your injections. That said, these injectable treatments take some time to integrate into your tissues, and it's normal for your dermal filler to take up to two weeks to fully settle into your face.
Dermal fillers are instant, so you can see a visible result immediately after injection. It takes up to 4 weeks for the filler to fully integrate into the tissue and some fillers are more cohesive than others.
This is due to the product absorbing water and from the “trauma” of the injection. This usually takes 2 weeks to completely settle down.
Hello Koriannkendl,If you are noticing fluctuations with the morning being the time when they are the biggest, then this is residual swelling from the product being injected. The reason is that swelling tends to be pulled downwards from gravity during the day.
Filler Post-Treatment Instructions
We recommend that you drink 8 glasses of water per day after treatment. Be aware that you must guard against infection by keeping the skin clean, especially in the first 48 hours. You may gently apply a small amount of makeup after 6 hours.
One of the best ways to increase the cheeks' cheeks is to use dermal fillers, such as Voluma, Sculptra, Juvederm, or Restylane. Your plastic surgeon or healthcare professional can inject one of these fillers into the cheeks to give them the fullness you had when you were younger.
Answer: Yes, within the first few days. Yes Juvederm expands within the first few days. The hyaluronic acid is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs water from the surrounding tissue.
Hard and tender lumps suggest that your body might have reacted to the filler. A mild allergic reaction can be sorted out quickly and easily by a prescription of steroids, which our aesthetic medical professional can provide you with. This prescription is available at most pharmacies.
Overcorrection is not advised. However, Juvéderm™ Voluma does not tend to absorb water and swell so optimal correction is desired at the time of treatment. Juvéderm tends to be smoother, more natural, and less perceptible than many of the other HA fillers, so it is great for thin skin and for filling superficial lines.
Massaging the treated areas can disrupt the dermal filler and cause the hyaluronic acid solution to move out of place. This can lead to an uneven or lumpy appearance.
Massage can encourage the filler to be broken up by the body more quickly. But in practice this still takes a long time (like weeks of daily vigorous massage) to improve the outcome. This may also spread the product over a larger area causing more problems.
Answer: Fillers
Fillers work by pushing up the skin and adding volume to areas of deficit. If you massage them they will flatten out and will certainly loose their effect. Gentle rubbing in of face skin products should be fine though.
Although extremely rare, dermal fillers are able to migrate within the skin if consistent and adequate pressure is applied to them. For this reason, we advise patients not to get a facial, massage (on the treated skin), or microdermabrasion for the first two weeks following their filler injections.
The filler can take several weeks to soften and settle into your skin. This means that patients won't see the ultimate results of their treatment immediately. Although individual results will vary, many people achieve the full effect within two weeks after receiving their injections.
Fillers are a great option for patients seeking a softer, more youthful look. However, if used improperly or over used, fillers can have negative long term consequences. In fact, patients who do not properly use filler could actually speed up their skin's aging process, resulting in older looking skin.
