Can Juvederm Seep into the Gums and Teeth?

May on the coastJul 5, 2009
Is it possible for Juvederm to seep into the gums and teeth? Can it also cause gum and teeth pain after three months of injection into the folds of my chin on each side of my mouth?

Juvederm is a soft tissue filler made from hyaluronic acid, as is Restylane and Perlane. When we desire to lessen the amount of hyaluronic acid product in the soft tissues of the face, a material called Wydase can be injected to 'melt' away the product. This can be done very quickly in you...

Since Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid just like restylane or perlane, an experienced injector can safely use hyaluronidase to dissolve all or some of the filler that was injected.

I recommend that it is worth having your doctor try to break down the product with hyaluronidase if that's what's causing the lump.

Your Juvederm won't be affected by losing weight, however you may find that your results will look different as fat deposits grow smaller.
