I broke my jaw and have a metal plate in my chin. If I get Juvederm around lips/nasolabial folds, will it have a bad reaction?

Question

You should not have any issues having fillers for your lips and nasolabial folds with a metal plate in place in your chin.  I encourage you to use an experienced injector for your treatment.

Thank you for sharing your question.  There should not be any issue with obtaining dermal filler into your lips or nasolabial folds.  Hope this helps.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

yes you can and It will not affect the metal plate. I suggest you see an expert and consider at home dermarolling weekly (see protocool to emeragecosmetics.com where we do free skincare consults daily).  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Shana818,
there should be no negative reactions to Juvederm filler. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question. The possibility is there for a negative reaction but I believe it rarely happens. Getting Juvederm should not have any effect on your metal plate. The key to success is to go to a very experienced doctor. Best wishes.Dr. T
