Is Restylane or Juvederm safe if I have metal facial implants?

Thank you for your question. There may be some scar tissue preventing the product to spread evenly, but should be no other issue. You may want ot be safe,a nd take an antibiotic if the injection will be near any metal implants. I hope this helps!

It is very important you go to someone with expertise for this.  The implant is on the bone and the filler should be injected above it to ensure it doesnt cause any biofilm or irritation around the filler.  I suggest only a reversible filler at first.  See someone who uses cannulas for injections and it is much safer with less side effects.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There should be no major issue in injecting fillers such as restylane or juvederm even if you have a metal facial implant. Most importantly, make sure your physician is highly trained and experienced such as a dermatologist. Tear troughs can be safely and nicely treated, although they are more prone to bruising and swelling.
