Is It Ok to Get Facial Filler (Juvederm or Perlane) the Day After a Dental Crown/Filling?

It should be okay to have a filler treatment the day after a crown/filling. The main things is that you want to make sure that you don't have any residual facial swelling as that can lead to undertreatment.

The novocaine should be out of your system by the following day so that shouldn't be a concern.

Hello,

  Novacaine or other local anesthetics used during a dental procedure should be metabolized by the following day.  This would not prevent application of another anesthetic. 

  Minor dental work should not affect the application of facial fillers.  That being said, any dental work that results in swelling of your cheeks / lips / oral soft tissues, even if minimal, would be good reason to delay injectable fillers.   

Hope this helps.

 

I would wait at least 1 week to allow any swelling related to the dental procedure to subside so that your dermatologist or plastic surgeon can better assess how much filler to inject, for better symmetry. The anesthetic, other than the swelling aspect, is not of concern.

Thank you for the question.

The use of facial fillers is not contraindicated unless you have residual perioral swelling and the fillers are going to be used around the mouth. If so,  wait until the swelling has subsided before having the fillers injected.

Best wishes.

It should not be a problem to have facial fillers injected after a crown or dental procedure is performed.
