Lip Injection Cause Cancer?

Dear Alittlemorelip
Rest assured that plumping your lips with Juvederm will not cause lip cancer (or any other cancer for that matter). Both Juvederm and Restylane the other hyaluronic acid filler are fantastic for lip volumizing. When it comes to lip treament, avoid fillers that can not be easily adjusted like the hyaluronic acid fillers. So avoid silicone oil, Radiesse, artefil, sculptra for the lip.

Lip augmentation with approved injectables do not cause cancer.  Adulterated or unapproved substances might be different but I know of no studies or case reports confirming this. Nevertheless, I would never let anyone place a foreign material in my lips or anywhere else that has not been studied for safety and effectiveness.

There is no evidence that repeated injections with a hyaluronic acid based filler, or any filler cause lip cancer. Sun exposure, tobacco, and alcohol may be linked to lip cancer.
