Are Restylane and Juviderm Safe on Immunosuppressed Patients?

However, because the degree of immuosuppression and the clinical basis for the immunosuppression varies so much, it is impossible to say that these treatments would be right for a given individual without a detailed knowledge of their particular clinical status.  For example, an immunosuppressed individual with a history of tissue cellulitis would not be appropriate for these type of treatments in my opinion.  Bottom line, the decision to have these treatments in an immunosppressed person must be made on individual considerations in consultation with the various treating physicians.

For a full review of potential side effects of either Restylane or Juvederm, visit their specific web sites. It's not common to have any side effects other than bruising and/or swelling after treatment.

Generally, there are no inherent risks of the product itself except for increased bruising and possibly infection depending upon the area you seek to be corrected. I would check with your surgeon first and your treating physician before proceeding to be safe.
