I have thyroid disease and now have a goiter several months after being injected with Juvederm. Coincidence?

Question

I have both Graves Disease and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. A year before the injections, I did not have a goiter or any nodules on my thyroid. I was first injected in February and again in June last year. In November, I had nodules which appear to be a multi-nodular goiter and a small cluster of cysts. I want more Juvederm but am afraid now.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Juvederm injections have no role in graves or other autoimmune / thyroid diseases.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi jpnurse, I know of no correlation between Juvederm injections and the development of thyroid nodules. I would consider this a coincidence.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

There is NO way this is related.  The Juvederm doesn't spread to that area and it is a natural occurring substance in the body that won't cause a reaction.  Don't be afraid.

I do no know of any relation between hyaluronic acid fillers and thyroid disease.  Hyaluronic acid is naturally occuring substance throughout the body.  Discuss with your endocrinologist other likely causes of your thyroid disease.  Donald R. Nunn MD  Atlanta Plastic Surgeon

It is extremely unlikely that injection of Juvederm has led to you developing the thyroid nodules.  It is a pure coincidence.  To be certain, you can contact the Allergan consumer hot line and ask them if they have had any similar reports.
