Crohn's Disease, Juvederm & Inflammatory Response

CRgirlApr 5, 2011
I'm scheduled next week for my first treatment with Juvederm, I'm using Juvederm for my vertical lips lines, smile lines and possible folds. So here is my question, I have Crohns and while I know Juvderm is not contraindicated, am I more at risk for any type of abnormal inflammatory response at the injection sites? Thank you.

I have not seen Juvederm shift after placement.  Peeling the skin or mucosa of the lip will not affect the Juvederm.

Swelling is very common in the lip for a few days to a week or even two, after the injection of Juvederm or Restylane.  If your shape doesn't improve, and if you think the volume is too large, then either your doctor can inject the lower lip to make you proportional, or dissolve some,...

There is no reason you cannot get Juvederm (or Restylane or Radiesse) injections to fill nasolabial folds if you have RA.  One caveat is that NSAID's can lead to increased temporary bruising after filler injections, so be sure to let your physician injector know if you are taking one of...
