Can Juvederm make an old hypertrophic scar worse?

October 24, 2017
Asked By:markpeg92 in Ottawa, IL

I've had a small scar above my lip for over 40 yrs and it was never noticed. I've gotten juvaderm, vollure, a& volbella injected into my upper lip area 5 times in the last 2 years. My scar is noticeably larger and more raised. Have these fillers caused the formation of collagen to adhere to my scar? It's not just that the fillers have pushed the scar outwards, it is definitely larger in shape.It's vertical in my infranasal depression & has gotten longer & thicker.I'm hoping to get fraxel on it
