I had breast augmentation revision 2 weeks ago. Is it safe to have juvederm injections to the lips 2 weeks after the surgery date? I typically have the injections every 6 months. I was worried it could cause inflammation / capsular contracture / some type of infection ( I have heard there is some relation between juvederm and strep). Thanks!

Generally injections are well tolerated by patients and long term numbness is not an issue. However, the needle can theoretically cause nerve injury. At this stage it is best to consult with the injector to how best to improve your concerns.
