If i have pericoronite, can it cause lip filler(Juvederm) to dissolve much faster? And then ill have to have surgery on my tooth
Answer: Infection affecting filler While the tooth infection will not directly cause the filler to dissolve, sometimes the inflammatory/ immune response your body creates to heal the infection can cause premature dissolving of the "foreign body/ hyaluronic acid". I have seen this in some patients when they have an upper respiratory infection, etc. The area with filler swells more than usual and seemingly loses volume over the next few days.

Answer: Not at all! Hi! The infection on your teeth shouldn't and will not affect at all the filler you just got, don't worry!

Answer: Having a tooth infection should not affect your filler at all. Thanks for your question. Having a tooth infection should not affect your filler at all. Be sure to get that infection taken care of and not do any fillers for 2 weeks before or after dental work, to be extra cautious!

Answer: Pericoronitis (Dental Infection) and Fillers Great question. Your dental infection, known as pericoronitis, will not affect your lip filler. Infections of the teeth, gums, and bones of the jaws are typically confined to those anatomic areas unless they are not treated, in which case they spread to the deeper layers of the skin. By this time, there is appreciable swelling and redness of the face. In this situation, the region with fillers would be swollen and would mask the changes achieved by filler. I would ensure the situation does not progress to this point. Make sure you see your dentist, oral surgeon, or specialist to definitively treat an oral infection (tooth related or not) as early as possible. The dental surgery itself will also not affect your previously applied lip filler. Allow a period of 2-3 weeks after major dental work before getting additional lip or facial fillers, since swelling can linger for this amount of time. You will achieve more precise results!
