Juvederm Lip Injections While Sick?

Thank you for your question.  I do not recommend that my patients undergo Juvederm treatment during a period of active sinus infection.  Please be sure to see a doctor for treatment of your sinus infection if you haven't already.  Are you taking antibiotics?  When you are ready, please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your goals and expectations for your lips in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Beautiful and natural results can be achieved by using Juvederm for lip augmentation.  Lastly, please keep in mind that swelling and bruising is normal after Juvederm injections, especially in the lips, and it will take 2 weeks to see your final result.  Hope this helps and safe travels!

Thank you for your question marie278. Juvederm is a filler that can enhance the face. There are no studies testing the safety and efficacy of Juvederm on patients who are ill. So unfortunately we do not know the answer to your question. For my patients I postpone all cosmetic treatments until they are completely healthy. Some doctors will proceed. Please consult specific recommendations. Good luck!
