I have done Juvederm in 80 year
old and older patients with excellent results; and as long as there is no
current systemic infection you are fine getting the juvederm even while on
antibiotics.
There are no contraindications with the use of Juvederm and people with autoimmune disorders. Speak to your injector about any concerns before treatment. The gel is made mostly of hyaluronic acid which is a product that naturally occurs in the body. Hope this helps.
If an infection occurs, which is very rare, by injecting more needles in the lip with any additional filler, the silicone can get infected and this can create all sorts of problems leading to surgery to remove the silicone which can cause bad scarring or irregularity, uneveness and asymmetry....
