I would recommend getting the dental work first. A filler is a foreign substance that remains in your body for several months. Although infections involving fillers are exceedingly low, they can occur. Another phenomenon is the formation of a biofilm around the filler which can be attributed to bacterial colonization of fibrous tissue encapsulating any foreign body including HA fillers. Normally there are no issues with fillers in a healthy patient. But, if the patient has an active infection or has a brief increase in bacterial circulation then the risk of the above complications rise. Dental surgical procedures shower oral bacterial into the bloodstream during the procedure and while the gums are healing. So, if new filler with a little blood around it gets showered with a load of oral bacteria from your wisdom teeth extraction the risk of infection and biofilm increases. It's a fairly low percentage, but not worth taking the risk for a cosmetic procedure. Getting the dental work done first and allowing it to heal completely and then getting fillers in your lips is the safest route. Hope this helps. Good luck!
I would recommend having your wisdom teeth extracted first and then once fully healed you can have lip fillers. Lips often swell and sometimes bruise after filler treatment. This could be uncomfortable when adding dental work. In addition, it is important to keep risk of infection to a minimum.
Dear knoxx,Thank you for your question. I would get your wisdom teeth removed first and then the juvederm injection. The reason is that the cheeks and chin have to be pulled during your dental visit.
Dear knoxx,You should have your wisdom teeth removed and recover fully (at least 6 weeks) before having lip augmentation. The retraction and manipulation of your lips during surgery could affect lip fillers if done before. Good luck!
In general, a dental procedure should not effect the results of a lip augmentation. However, some manipulation of your lips during the dental procedure could, potentially, stimulate the area to break down the filler a little bit faster.If you can wait, I would recommend getting your dental procedure done first. You can do the lip augmentation after you have recovered from your procedure.If you want to get the lip augmentation done first, I would recommend you wait at least 1-2 weeks before undergoing your dental procedure.Best of luck!
That all depends on what's more important. If your wisdom teeth are hurting you and are infected you should have them addressed first. Then wait up couple of weeks and have your lips augmented. If your wisdom teeth are not a problem, then you can have your lips augmented, wait approximately a week and have your wisdom teeth addressed. Good luck from New York City
It's hard to fully assess without photos but it sounds as though the filler was injected improperly. You shouldn't have residual bumps. Your best option is to see your injector to have the bumps dissolved with hyaluronidase.As with all cosmetic procedures, especially when it comes to fillers,...
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your current results are not what you anticipated. Your lumps are due to filler that was placed too superficially and after two weeks should be dissolved. Hope this helps.
There are various fillers that can be used for treating the 3 areas that you mention. Juvederm Ultra Plus is quite versatile and can be used safely and effectively in all 3 areas. Depending on the degree of hollowing in the temples or cheeks, your dermatologist may consider other fillers,...
