I had Voluma in 2014 and was pregnant with my first child about 6 months later, didn't experience complications. I'm currently nursing my second child and am also interested in having more children in the future. Can i stop nursing, get a more permanent nonsurgical nose job like with Bellefil and then become pregnant again. Would the chemicals affect the subsequent pregnancy at all?

Answer: Pregnancy and fillers Hi there. Great question. Getting fillers done when finished nursing and before becoming pregnant is perfect timing. For your reading enjoyment, here's a fun explanation for you...We can't officially "recommend" using any fillers while pregnant or nursing for the simple fact that we haven't tested them on that population...and it's unethical to do so! While it's PROBABLY safe, when pregnant, there's so much fluid shifting going on, especially in the face, that I won't dare add filler to the mix! Your metabolism does change when you're pregnant, so there's a chance that it could affect the breakdown of your fillers over time, but it's hard to say which way! I'm a Certified Nurse Midwife as well, so I love when I get questions with any mention of pregos and nursing mamas! A word of caution as far as filler, consider using a filler that is reversible in the nose. The biggest risk with this area is compromising blood flow and the only way to UNcompromise it is to dissolve. If you're set on doing Bellafill in the nose, be sure to make sure you see someone extremely experienced! Best on fillers and babies! @DrKatNP.trilogy

Answer: Bellafill in the nose Voluma and Bellafill can create the same beautiful results in the nose. Bellafill however is composed of a non-absorbable material which stimulates your body to create its own collagen. This mean the Bellafill cannot be undone in the nose. When Bellafill is being used in the nose, the filler should be placed conservatively with a little done at a time spaced out over several months to maximize safety and results. Hope ths helps!
