Heart Disease- Are Juvederm and Teosyal Safe to Use?

HildaAug 22, 2011
I have used Juvederm or Teosyal for 3 years and I have just been told that I have mild heart muscle disease. Is Juvederm and Teosyal still safe to use? I just had my lip done 3 months ago and seemed fine.

Juvederm syringes do not have a needle permanently attached to the syringe so it depends upon the injector.  I will use anything between a 29-31 gauge needle which depends upon which Juvederm product and which area I am injecting.
