Answer: Juvederm and breastfeeding
You should not worry about breastfeeding and having had Juvederm. It is made up of hyalurons, naturally occurring substances in the body. Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been approved by the FDA. Patients who are pregnant or nursing are not normally tested in clinical trials. I personally would not inject a nursing mother but I believe it is safe.

Answer: Juvederm and Breast Feeding
Definitely check with your OBGYN, but I don't do it in anyone breast feeding or pregnant. Not worth the risk. No one knows whether or not any traces are in breast milk.
