I just found out I'm 8 weeks pregnant and got a Juvederm filler one week ago. Could I have caused harm to the baby?

Hi Lyella,No, but your baby is going to look very young!!!  Congratulations, wishing you a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby!!!  Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Thank you for sharing your question.  There are no studies that indicate that dermal fillers would negatively impact your pregnancy but I would mention this to your ob/gyn so that they can monitor your closely as you exit your first trimester.  

Hi,Thank you for sharing your question.It's best to avoid elective treatments during pregnancy but there are no studies to show the safety of fillers during pregnancy or breastfeeding; however, it is highly unlikely there are any negative effects to the fetus. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your pregnancy! The fillers are unlikely to have posed any harm to your baby. Feel free to discuss this with your OB, but I don't think you need to be overly concerned. All the best!

I would not worry about this at all.  It will not cause damage to your baby.  Good luck with your pregnancy. 

Due to the lack of studies, it is recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding women do not undergo filler treatment.  However, having filler should not affect the baby.  Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Thank you for your question. Having a Juvederm filler will not harm the baby. However, I would get a formal evaluation from your OBGYN. Remember to seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist. 

Thank you for your question! There is not alot of good studies on the subject. Make sure you discuss this with your OB/GYN. However, most injectors would say to refrain from further fillers, but you probably did no harm to your new family addition. Best of luck!

Like with many medications, herbs, and supplements, there is NOT a lot of research on the safety of use during pregnancy. This is because researchers are cautious and not very likely to test the safety and efficacy of  medications on pregnant or breastfeeding women in order to protect the mother and child. It is best to avoid cosmetic procedures including fillers and nauromodulators like Botox or Dysport until pregnancy and breastfeeding is complete.

Hi, thank you for your question. To date, there has been no studies done indicating the negative effects of fillers during pregnancy. Although its very unlikely that the filler will harm the fetus, I would recommend to avoid having further filler treatments throughout the rest of your pregnancy. Moreover, just mention this to your OBGYN.
Congratulations on the pregnancy, and I hope this helped. -Melody PAC
