Question

Can you please tell me how long you would have to wait to get juvederm after a wisdom tooth removal

N. Bill Aydin, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question, deedee102! It is suggested to wait at least 2 weeks after having any kind of dental work done before getting injectable fillers done. Getting your wisdom teeth removed is quite a big procedure and can sometimes take a little longer to heal. I would wait until you are completely healed from this before going in for your injectables. As always, make sure to make your injector aware of the dental work you've had done.

Thank you for your question.You want to make sure you are healed from surgery. I would wait until your follow up with your surgeon to get cleared from them to have the procedure done. My recommendation would be at least one month.

Thank you for your question.  I would recommended waiting anywhere from two to four weeks after undergoing wisdom tooth removal before having Juvederm injected. The first reason for waiting is, you are placed at a higher risk of infection.  And the second is, swelling of the mouth and face can distort your normal appearance and animation making it difficult for the injector to make an accurate assessment.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. You did not mention the desired location of Juvederm placement but I would allow your mouth incisions to fully heal before receiving the filler.  This may be 1-2 weeks after surgery.

Bryan Armijo, MD · Answer

Though each provider will vary in their opinion of how long to wait after wisdom teeth removal, I would not recommend an injectable facial product for at least 2-4 weeks. You will have swelling that will take several weeks to resolve. Ensure that the swelling has significantly improved before scheduling your appointment. It is best to check with the provider who will be injecting you as well to ensure they are comfortable proceeding with your injection given your recent surgery.

Thank you for your question. While it is recommenced to wait 2 weeks after dental procedures for filler, it is best to make sure with your dentist first to ensure you are healed completely and with no concerns.

Hi, thanks for your question. You want to be sure to wait until you have completely healed. This can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. However, I highly recommend that you get the green light from your dentist before you decide to get any fillers. Hope this helps!

Hello,
Thank you for your question! We recommend waiting at least two weeks or until you are completely healed before receiving Juvederm injections. With dental work you are placed at a higher risk of infection. Also, getting clearance from your Dentist is recommended.
Hope this helps!

Selena Lantry, MD · Answer

You want to wait two weeks before getting filler after any dental work.  The two reasons for this are to let any swelling after the dental work subside so that the filler can be placed accurately, but most importantly, should you have a low grade infection from any dental work this period gives you time to heal and reduces your chance of infection at the injection site.

Morgan Rabach, MD · Answer

Bruising or swelling from your wisdom teeth removal may last 7-10 day. I would suggest waiting for all of the swelling from your dental procedure to go down before having an injection.
