Not a Candidate for Dermal Fillers if Have Hypertrophic Scarring?

March 29, 2010
Asked By:9042anon in Texas

I have been thinking about having Juvederm or restylane injected into my nasolabial folds, but have read for both products that you should not use either of these fillers if you have hypertrophic scarring, what are the risks associated with juvederm or restylane and hypertrophic scarring, Am I not a candidate for these fillers since I do have some hypertrophic scarring on my abdomen? thank you
