A few seconds after Juvederm was injected I started getting very hot and sweating. My vision was blurry, couldn't speak or think clearly, dizzy, faint, and nauseous. I was like that for about 30 min then the feeling started to wear off. So she started to do the other side of my mouth. Same feelings happened again. I could not finish my procedure as I was too sick. Is this normal?

Answer: Atypical Reaction to Lip Augmentation with Juvederm Injectable Filler -- Dizziness, Blurred Vision, Weakness, Cold Sweats Sorry to hear about your experience. While you're not the first user on RS to post about this type of reaction to fillers, it is not a typical or expected response mid-treatment. However, it's unlikely that these side effects are a reaction to the Juvederm filler specifically. I recommend following up with your physician or an experienced cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Thoughts on my reaction to Juvederm? I would agree 100% with the previous person that you had a very classic Panic Attack. This is relatively uncommon but the symptoms that you displayed are classic for this. My suggestion would be to either take a light sedative next time you have your injection (and have someone drive you there/back) or choose a different injector that makes you feel a little more comfortable. If this were a more dangerous reaction from the actual product, the symptoms would not have resolved. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,-Gregory A Buford MD FCAS PCEOBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and AuthorCertified Allergan National MASTER Facial Injectables Trainer
