Would taking weight loss pills make my Juvederm lip fillers metabolize faster?

I have found that stimulants do affect fillers and make them dissolve quicker (the HA type fillers) just like my patients who exercise and diet who lose fillers more quickly.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Longevity of Juvederm and other fillers is highly variable depending on location injected, technique, volume used, and patients.  Some patients metabolize the filler more quickly.  Although these tend to be those that are very thin, it is not always the case.  There are no studies to answer the questions; most likely it will not effect the filler but there is no data to back that up.

This is an excellent question to which there is no definitive answer.  In general, I tell my patients that I inject anything into, that conditions that increase your metabolism can often increase the absorption of that product. Also the other factor is the individual factor...each patient is different and therefore should also be taken in to account.  Unfortunately, you may have to try to see if this is the case for you.  Sorry that there is no definitive answer to your question. I hope this helps.ThanksDr VasishtSouth Shore Plastic Surgery
