Lip filler while breastfeeding? How quickly does the residual unreacted BDDE breakdown & metabolize?

becknlew1721
Hi! I’ve had lip filler in the past and would like to get it again. I’m currently breastfeeding and have been given the okay by my dermatologist. I read that Juvederm contains trace amounts of unreacted BDDE in the final product. I’m curious how quickly the residual unreacted BDDE would breakdown and metabolize after injection? If I decide to pump and dump to reduce likelihood of any BDDE getting into the milk. Thanks so much!
