A month ago I got Juvederm in my lips - I got hit in the mouth.

Question

My 4 year old hit me in the mouth - will this affect the juvaderm or move it around ?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, this shouldn't negatively impact your Juvederm results. There may be some swelling which can be reduced with icing. Best, Dr. Emer

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear CharliesAngel72,you might have swelling or bruising at the site of impact but it shouldn't have any effect on filler. I would suggest you to ice the area. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

If you were hit 1 month after the injection, there is little chance the filler will move around.

Tim Sayed, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Thanks for the question. It is unlikely that without direct massaging action you would have displacement of the filler. We generally tell patients not to massage or manipulate their fillers in their lips in order to reduce the risk of displacement, but a single blunt trauma like what you describe is unlikely to cause a problem. Are you seeing any kind of issue?

Jeanine B. Downie, MD · Answer

Hi there, your mouth should be fine.  I would recommend that you ice the area.  If you have any bruising, use Arnica from either GNC or Whole Foods.  Even if your tooth punctured your lip you will still be fine, it will just take more time for your lip to heal.  Good luck, Dr. Downie

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

No. You should be fine. The Juvederm is settle into place at his point. You can try ice of the swelling and arnica if you develop a bruise, but your mouth punch won't affect the filler. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question.  Sorry to hear about your accident.  What you described is unlikely to have an effect on your overall Juvederm result.  Icing may help to reduce any swelling or bruising related to the incident.  Please be sure to address any specific questions or concerns to your treating doctor.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

Thank you for your question.  It's unlikely that minor trauma will displace your Juvederm or impact your results.  If you are experiencing swelling, you can consider gently applying ice or cool compresses to your lips.  I hope this helps!

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

There is no need to worry. Minimal trauma such as this will not affect the Juvederm. If you have some swelling, ice may help.
