Juvederm Lip filler: how long should I wait to get pregnant?

Thank you for your question. You do not have to wait to get pregnant after Juvederm. If you'd like you can speak to your GYN for more information. 

Hi Bren123456. Thanks for the question. There really isn’t any firm time frame to wait to get pregnant after a Juvederm injection, but I always advise patient to check with your OBGYN  regarding such concerns.

Thanks and best of luck.

We are not aware of any problem that a hyaluronic acid filler would present during pregnancy, however there are risks with all procedures and should a complicaton occur that would require an enzyme to be injected to dissolve a lump of the filler, or antibiotics or antiviral medication be needed to treat an infection which is extremely rare, your pediatrician may prefer for you not to have those supplemental treatments unless absolutely necessary. Waiting a week or two after filler to ensure you're happy with the result and that there's no complication, prior to conceiving, may be prudent.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs. 

While I always recommend that women who are pregnant hold off on cosmetic injectables until they have delivered a healthy baby and are finished nursing, you don’t need to worry about Juvederm’s effects on conception. Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance our own bodies produce to moisturize our skin and lubricate our joints. If you’ve already had the Juvederm done, you can get pregnant at any time. Don’t do touch-ups while you are pregnant though — just to be safe.  A board-certified dermatologist who is an expert with dermal fillers will give you the best results.

Thank you for your question. There is no reason you have to wait. You can conceive at any time. For more information, please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.
