Could the steroids have made the juvederm go away? I had juvederm in my lips 3wks. Ago and had to take steroids for an infection not related to the juvederm .i feel like I don't have as much as I did before. Is this possible?

Answer: Steroids and Juvederm. Could the steroids have made the Juvederm go away? I am not aware of any interaction between steroids and early loss of filler. In fact, many of my cosmetic surgery patients receive steroids following surgery and their fillers appear to hold up nicely. In my experience, when fillers appear to dissolve quickly the issue is that the lips were not adequately corrected with enough volume. I would recommend discussing with your injector. Hopefully, there are photos to review so you can see how much volume you have actually retained. Best of luck.

Answer: Do steroids affect juvederm? I am not aware of any reason why steroids would reduce the amount of juvederm in your lips. It is possible that the size of the lips after juvederm injection was affected by the juvederm itself as well as by the swelling that occurs with lip injection. Perhaps the steroid helped to remove this swelling, so that the lips appeared smaller. There is always a "settling in" period after filler injection. I hope this information is helpful.
