Pouches around mouth? What is this from and what can I do? Recent weight loss and getting married in a few months. (Photo)

annie2221Jun 6, 2015
I've lost 30 pounds in the last year and my skin has changed. I had 1 cc of juvaderm plus in my cheeks a month ago and Botox in jaw for tmj/wide jaw. I've noticed fat pouches around my mouth and dents in skin when I smile. My dermatologist is injecting ultra plus in nasolabial folds, Im nervous of looking unnatural. Will this help my case and what should I do to rejuvenate my mouth area? I want to look like a better version of myself for my wedding in a few months. Suggestions please? Thanks!

Hello, you would need to speak to your injector about their policy.  It is not uncommon to require additional filler to achieve the desired result, and each clinic will have their own policy whether there is a different fee for more product.

There is no interaction with Juvederm or other fillers and diet pills. Have no hesitation with taken them immediately after getting your filler.

It is common to get swelling after fillers into the lips. It is not normal to have irregularities or severe swelling. If you are unhappy you should speak to your physician and have the area injected with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that reverses the hyaluronic acid filler. For the next...

Why would you? Alcohol causes bleeding and bruising, which can compromise a good result and add swelling. This is especially true for the lips. Have it done 10 days after your next bender!

Hi jpnurse, I know of no correlation between Juvederm injections and the development of thyroid nodules. I would consider this a coincidence.
