Jeuveau is considered a safe and well-tolerated injectable when administered by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. At CK Plastic Surgery, Dr. Charles Kim follows strict safety protocols and evidence-based injection techniques to minimize risks and optimize outcomes.
Common, temporary side effects may include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically resolve within a few hours to several days. Some patients experience a mild headache or sensation of tightness in the treated area during the initial adjustment period.
Rare but potential risks include asymmetry, eyelid drooping, eyebrow heaviness, or unintended muscle relaxation. These complications are uncommon and are significantly reduced through precise dosing, proper anatomical knowledge, and conservative injection strategies. Dr. Kim carefully evaluates facial muscle balance to avoid overcorrection and maintain natural movement.
There is minimal downtime associated with Jeuveau treatments. Most patients return to work and normal activities immediately following their appointment. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, alcohol consumption, and lying flat for several hours after treatment to reduce the risk of product migration.
Results typically begin to appear within three to five days, with full effects visible by approximately two weeks. The longevity of results varies but generally lasts three to four months. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong results and prevent wrinkle progression.
Dr. Kim provides personalized post-treatment guidance and follow-up recommendations to ensure optimal recovery and satisfaction. This transparent, patient-first approach reinforces CK Plastic Surgery’s commitment to safety, trust, and long-term aesthetic success.
