Fillers while under the knife

Steven Wallach, MD answers: Can I get Juvederm or Restylane while I'm "under the knife"?

I am having breast reduction surgery and while I am under anesthetic I thought I would have either restylane or juvederm injected in the "parenthesis" near my nose/mouth.  Is that a wise decision?  It it wiser to be awake when you have this done?  I am 47 years old and in good health.

I inject fillers and Botox all the time while may patients are having other surgical procedures.  It makes sense to me. It eliminates pain, and it should not impact the other surgery that you are having done. Good Luck!
