Asked By:Katherine1990 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I have recently started taking 2 teaspoons of wheatgrass a day, and i can feel it's affects- much less body odour and bad breath, very clear skin ect. However, I am worried about the fillers in my lips. I have resty and juvaderm in them, and am wondering if the wheatgrass may cause the glucose substance to break down quicker, or for m body to metabolise them quicker? ie i am worried that the filler may leave my lips more quickly! thanks!!

Thank you for your question. It is common to have some swelling, bruising and tenderness after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can help reduce swelling by applying cold compresses to the treated area. As HA fillers are not permanent you...
Hi @kathhayes! Swelling can take up to two weeks to subside. If you are unhappy with the results, you can dissolve the filler with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Hi @Tamaswingstar! I would recommend avoiding vigorous exercise after receiving dermal fillers and neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
