It is common to get flu-symptoms after Juvederm?

Question

I had one syringe to NL folds on 09/19 and got flu symptoms the next day. I had another syringe yesterday and now feel terrible - hot, headache, faint... I know too much was put in but the folds were very deep and nothing else has worked - Radiesse/ Stylage/Teosyal - 2 x Juvederm 4 (I'm in the UK) and the lines have gone but I don't feel good at all. Do I need antibiotics?

In general, the side effects of Juvederm may include the following:1) Bruising 2) Swelling 3) Redness around the injection site 4) Lumps or bumpsFlu-like symptoms are not common following Juvederm treatment and may be coincidental. I would recommend following up with your physician regarding any concerns. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Flu-like symptoms are not a common symptom after Juvederm injections.  Typically, if a reaction occurs, it is localized to the injection site.  I suggest you followup with your physican to rule out any chance of infection.  Good Luck

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Flu like symptoms are not common after a filler injection. It could be coincidence. Perhaps contact the clinic where you had the injections and explain all your symptoms. If the product is causing an adverse reaction it would most likely appear where the product was injected. Schedule a follow up visit with your injector. Good Luck!

I do not think that the flu symptoms are related to the juviderm.  But I would let your doctor know that you are not feeling well.  They may want to see you to look for signs of infection at the injection site.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

At a reputable center with an experienced and expert physician injector, it is unlikely to have flu like symptoms as a result of a juvederm treatment. If sterile techniques were not followed, you may have a localized infection. Consult with your injector as he or she knows the specifics about you and the treatment.
