Hi Bann,The only way that your Juviderm injection could have been related to your subsequent bronchitis and pneumonia is if you caught it from someone in the elevator on the way to your appointment! Or maybe it was that little cough from the nurse or doctor. Bronchitis is caused by either a virus or bacteria, neither of which is related to Juviderm.Hopefully by now you are filling better, if not, chicken soup! Be well.Dr. P
There are a thousand events that probably coincided with your contracting a respiratory infection, 999 of which are more likely than Juvederm to have caused it. Feel better!
Hope you feel better. There is quite simply no mechanism whereby Juvederm can cause pnuemonia.
Hi.It's just a coincidence that you got pneumonia after Juvederm injections. This has not been reported and we have not seen a problem after Juvederm, other than some local bruising and swelling.
There are a variety of reasons for the development of Bronchitis, which may then lead to pneumonia. However, a recent injection of a filler such as Restylane or Juvederm is extremely unlikely to be related.Most respiratory infections have an "incubation" period of several days before the infection becomes apparent, and you probably had your injections done during the "window" before your infection actually hit.I'm sorry that you are feeling bad, but hopefully you are looking good! Don't blame the Juvederm...
Every patient is different. It really depends on the area injected, how much product injected, and how quickly your body metabolizes the product. On average in our practice, Juvederm Ultra can last anywhere from 6-12 months. The lip area can last on average about 4-6 months. The tear trough an...
Juvederm isn't an ideal filler for under eye hollows because it is considered a hydrophilic filler. Hydrophilic refers to it's ability to draw water towards itself. Juvederm is one of the most hydrophilic fillers on the market. Restylane can be hydrophilic but much less so than Juvederm. Res...
Hi Cat. It's interesting how many patients on the realself site do not go back to their injectors immediately with issues like this. We definitely recommend that you follow up with your injector and compare your before pictures to get a better gauge of what's happening...
It is not necessarily the Juvederm that caused numbness. The needle used to inject the product may have touched a sensory nerve when either filling the lip or numbing the lip. But over time, it should go away so you do not need to worry.
Swelling is common after treatment and can last one or two weeks. It would be best if you book a follow up appointment with your injector in 1-2 weeks, and he/she can massage any residual lumps or bumps at that time. At that time, you can also discuss your results with your injector if you...
Generally, you won't have to pay for your next injection if the leftover syringe is used. However, it may be different where you are. Before you have another treatment, it would be prudent to ask about their policy first.
