I've recently had Juvederm in my lips. Will exposure to the sun or to heat make it less effective?

Question

I just had Juvederm in my lips and I will be going on vacation to Orlando soon. We will be spending 4-5 days at the parks. Will the sun/heat make the filler less effective? I always wear sunscreen on my face and lips but I am just wondering about the heat itself. Thanks!

Hi there thanks for the question.
As part of Botox aftercare I always suggest staying clear of temperature related activities such as sauna, steam room, sun beds, sunbathing alongside excess exercise as a precautionary measure for 48hours.
This can increase the risk of bruising and potentially interfere with the affectivity of the product.
Hope this helps!

The filler in your lips will not be affected by the heat or the sun whatsoever.  Using a lip moisturizer (with spf if in sun) will keep your lips hydrated and protected from possible sunburn. As always remember to use sunscreen and use the shade when possible.

Great question,  Sun exposure will not effect your lip enhancement at all, I do suggest applying an spf daily to the skin, have a great trip!

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to give you advice with seeing before and after photos. However, technique is very important when having lip augmentation, therefore you will want to see an expert. Some great fillers to help create a symmetrical lip are Volbella, Restylane and Juvederm. Another option to help improve shape and to create a lift is PDO Nova threads. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to discuss your concerns and determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

No, the heat will not affect your Juvederm. But continue to wear your sunscreen so
you don’t get brown spots, wrinkles and skin cancers!

Juvederm placed under the skin for the purpose of filling depressions or augmenting the soft tissues should not be affected by sun exposure.
