Vollure/Juvederm Vycross. Can I use these same fillers again?

Question

I had Vollure under my eyes and Volbella in my lips and loved the results for a year and a half with no issues. I then had dental surgery and then a virus . Then I had a late onset reaction . Swelling making it look like a nodule. I let it run its course and my tech did a couple rounds to dissolve some of it and all iswell now. My question is .. can I use these same fillers again ? I really love the results more than other fillers I've tried. No more dental surgery planned . Thanks in advance!!

Dental surgery is probably the most common cause of delayed filler reactions/infection in my experience.  Probably what happens is bacteria enter the blood stream during the dental procedure and then hide in the filler like a biofilm.  I would recommend melting ALL the old filler before you inject more so as to make sure there is no biofilm left.  These delayed reactions are rare so you should be fine if you avoid more dental procedures.

Hi and thank you for you question! You can absolutely use the same fillers again. Sometimes when the body is fighting a virus or illness, the body attacks any foreign substance which could include filler, making it swell. Thats always a small possibility but there is no problem repeating the same filler! Enjoy

Hello, Thank you for your question! 
I would highly recommend consulting with an experienced injector in your area. Illness could account for reactions at the site of filler placement and pose a possible risk of inducing hypersensitivity. With the virus you encountered during your prior treatment along with the dental surgery our bodies react differently. I would recommend starting again with only 1 syringe maximum with a longer period of a light massage to the area to help integrate the filler with your natural tissue. Follow your expert injectors advice. I hope this helps you!

You can use the same filler again and see if you respond well to it. If you don't get it dissolved and try a different one. What you are experiencing can happen with any filler, just be sure to let your doctor know and let them tell you what they suggest.
