Juvederm Voluma before hip surgery?

Question

Is it ok to get juverderm injection a week before my hip surgery?

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Hi @DNE! You are able to receive dermal filler prior to hip surgery. Best of luck to you on your upcoming surgery, Dr. Nima!

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. While it is probably safe, it is best that you have your board certified facial plastic surgeon discuss with your orthopedic surgeon so that both can provide you their most information treatment plan. 
Best wishes,

You should be able to have Voluma placed before most operations including hip surgery. Be sure to discuss sterile technique with your injector and maintaining a sterile field throughout the whole process.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Treatment with Voluma is safe within a week of your hip surgery, but be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation.  The greatest danger with treatment would be the development of an infection which would cause your hip surgery to be delayed.  Hope this helps.

Alex Eshaghian, MD, PhD · Answer

Thank you for
your question DNE. I undertand your concern. Voluma is a
filler used to enhance the appearance of the face. Having an upcoming hip surgery is not a contraindication to treatment. However it is important to discuss this with your surgeon. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.  Good luck!

I would check with your orthopedic surgeon. He or she may even want to speak with your injector. The risk of infection with an injectable, though minor, is real. That's the issue here. Best of luck.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes. Just make certain to speak with your orthopedic surgeon first. With any injectable, there is always a risk, though small, of infection. Obviously, this could be a problem. Best of luck.

Mitchell J. Ross, MD · Answer

I would recommend getting approval from your orthopedic surgeon. As long as the Voluma is injected with sterile technique before placement, it should not be a problem. However, there is always a small risk of infection with any filler placement and if your filler was to become infected, it could prevent you from getting your hip replacement until the infection is resolved.

Grace Liu, MD · Answer

Hi,You should be fine as long as the Voluma area is cleaned with  sterile technique before placement.  The biggest risk is that if there is bacteria around the Voluma, it can infect your hip replacement.  It is wise to let your orthopedic surgeon know and get his ok!Warmly,Dr.Liu

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

I would say it is fine as long as you won't be prone (face down) during the surgery process (which I doubt).
