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.
