A middle-aged patient asked whether she could receive injections of Juvederm 3 weeks before a wedding. “Is it too late?” she asked.
I told her that it wasn’t too late, but sooner is better! Juvederm, like other fillers, can cause some minor bruising. When my patients get treated before a wedding or important social event, I prefer to do it at least 2 to 3 weeks before the date. The more time you have, the better.
I have many wedding packages for brides and their bridal group that involve Botox, dermal fillers, microdermabrasion, etc. I don’t hesitate to inject fillers 2 or more weeks before an important event.
If we have less than 2 weeks, then I would choose to forgo dermal filler injections.
Evolence is a collagen-based filler that is said to cause little or no bruising. However, I generally prefer Juvederm since the bruising is minimal and the benefits are first-rate.
