Are fever blisters a side effect of Juvederm injections on the lip area?
Answer: If you have a previous history of cold sores, this can happen If patients have a previous history of cold sores or fever blisters, this can occur. I recommend a medication to fight the virus that cause these outbreaks to be taken before and a few days after the injection.

Answer: Juvederm and fever blisters or cold sores Juvederm and other fillers can cause fever blisters in some patients with a history of cold sores. If you have this history, your physician should prescribe Acyclovir or Valtrex to prevent the occurence. If you did not take the medications beforehand, expectant management is warranted.

Answer: Fever blister after juvederm injection Fever blisters or cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Once you've had an outbreak of herpes, the virus isn't cleared. Instead it lives in the nerve associated with that area. Anything irritating the area can 'awaken' the virus and cause an outbreak. Patients with a history of herpes simplex virus for example of the lip, can take an antiviral medication in a preventive dose on the morning and evening of injection of that area (or in whatever dosage is prescribed by your physician). If you did not take antiviral medication and now have a flare up, call your physician for a prescription (usually of Valcyclovir, Famcyclovir or Acylclovir pills).Best wishes.

Answer: Fever blisters not a Juvederm side effect, but can occur Cold sores or fever blisters (which are actually herpses simplex infections) are viral in origin. The virus lives along your spinal column and is kept in check by your immune system. But at times of stress or trauma (eg. a filler lip augmentation), the virus can overcome your immune system and produce an outbreak. If you have any history of previous HSV outbreaks, make sure your provider knows about it so that appropriate anti-viral therapy can be initiated.
