Jeffrey Roth, 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.

We often get the request to place fillers while patients are under anesthestia.  The advantages are that the patient does not feel pain during the injection as they are out for the other procedures.  Also patients should be off of things that can cause the blook to be, "thin", and cause bleeding or brusing. (i.e. aspirin, ibuprofen, ginko, etc;).

It is important to communicate with your surgeon and be on the "same page" as to the desired result, as the patient will not be able to communicate with the surgeon.  Follow up can be done at the same time as the follow up for the procedure.
