Why Not Restylane or Juvederm While Pregnant?

You are correct to say that Restylane and Juvederm stay in place once they are injected. They do not migrate throughout the body. There are no documented studies that demonstrate how filler may affect one's pregnancy. That being said, it is better to play it safe and avoid them for the time being. You can always have a touch-up after your baby is born, and for now I would recommend waiting. I hope this helps answer your question, and I wish you well for the remainder of your pregnancy!

It is not known what the effects of filler are during pregnancy because not many studies have been done on this topic. While the risks may be minimal or nonexistent, it is still unknown. It's always best to minimize the risk to your baby and avoid unnecessary treatments.

This is more of an issue of being safe than sorry. While there may be no threat to the fetus, there is no research that proves or disproves the possible danger posed to pregnant women when receiving injectable fillers.

Although there aren't any actual studies that show fillers would harm your baby, it isn't recommended having cosmetic procedures while pregnant or nursing,

Because there are no published studies establishing the safety of these elective cosmetic procedures during pregnancy, it is recommended that you avoid them during your pregnancy and also if you decide to breastfeed.
