Dizziness and flu-like symptoms post Juvederm, should I be concerned?

Question

I had juverderm voluma one week ago today. I have felt dizzy and foggy ever since. I don't have any pain or swelling just an ache in the temples and cheeks of the injection area. I have spoken to my practitioner and she doesn't think it's related and is more likely some sort of virus. But I really think the jurvederm has made me feel this way. I'm panicking that this feeling is not going away, any advice would be very welcome. Many thanks

Dear Emmajbrown,I am sorry you are not feeling well. Your symptoms do not sound like they are related to the Juvaderm procedure you had done. I would see your regular doctor or go to an urgent care to examined for the flu. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid which is naturally occurring in our body.  Your symptoms are not related to your treatment.  See your family doctor for evaluation.

It is unlikely that Juvederm is causing these symptoms. Since you're concerned, I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. emer

Thank you for your question. It doesn’t sound like your flu-like symptoms are related to getting JUVÉDERM®, especially since you don’t have swelling of the injection sites. The pain in your temples and cheeks may be related to headaches or muscle soreness from a virus. Visit your primary physician for an evaluation.

Since Juvederm is made from a naturally occurring substance in the body, I seriously doubt that it has anything to do with your flu like symptoms. My guess is that you got the flu and this is simply a case of bad timing. Make an appointment to see your regular doctor to be assessed. So sorry that you are feeling crummy.

Thank you for your question emmajbrown. I
am sorry to hear about your situation. Juvederm is a filler used to enhance the
appearance of the face. Flu-like symptoms are common in general and sometimes they occur around the same time as a cosmetic treatment, making one think it is secondary to the treatment. However, such side effects are unlikely related to the Voluma. Please consult with a doctor for specific
recommendations.  Good luck!

It is not likely that the Juvederm and your flu like symptoms are related in any way.  It is probably just a coincidence in timing.  I recommend following up with your primary care physician to treat your symptoms.

Thanks for your question.  I don't think your flu like symptoms have anything to do with your Juvederm injections.  I recommend you see your primary care physician about these symptoms to rule out a viral illness.
