Can I have a Juvederm lip augmentation with Graves’ disease?
bren123456Jan 29, 2018
I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease a few months ago. I am taking methimazole 10mg a day. I want to get juvederm lip filler but I want to make sure it’s ok to do this if I have Graves’ disease. On juvederm website it says it is to be used in caution in people taking immunosuppressive meds and methimazole is slightly immunosuppressive. Does this mean I shouldn’t have juvederm? If it’s ok for me to have it, why does the allergan website caution against it in people taking immuno suppressive meds?
