I’m 21 y/o female with hypermobile type EDS. Because of the EDS as well as a 40 pound weight loss, I feel like my far has sunken in. I was interested in fillers in the nasolabial folds and possibly tear troughs as well. Is this contraindicated in me or is it possible?
Answer: Is it possible for me to get dermal fillers/facial fillers? I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, hypermobile Thank you for your interesting question. Please see the attached link for more information. Although there are no specific studies out there that I know of because there is not a large amount of evidence, I would certainly exercise extreme caution in patients with EDS. This article said it is not contraindicated, but in my experience, I would always rather be safe than sorry and I would not proceed. But you can discuss this with your chosen plastic surgeon.Hope this helps!Dallas R. Buchanan, MD, FACSOwner & Board-Certified Plastic SurgeonVIVIFY plastic surgery

Answer: Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma) and Ehlers Danlos Yes, you should be able to get facial fillers. It will take 1-2 weeks for your final results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
