Is It Safe for Me to Get Juviderm & Botox at the Same Appt. if I Have Graves Disease?

Question

I am currently not on any meds bcus we are still feeling my amount of medication out. I do have graves disease and when I do take my meds, I take methimazole 5mg. Per day. 10 mg. Per day made me go hypothyroid. Is it safe for me to get 20 units of botox and one syringe of juviderm at the same appointment? I am 27 years old and this will be my first time getting any injectable. Thank you.

Yes, the combination of Botox and Juvederm is very safe and very commonly performed in good candidates. It is also safe in patients with Graves disease that is well managed. Make sure you discuss with your doctor if you are a good candidate for both Botox and Juvederm. Best of luck.

Combination of fillers and Botox are often done the same day. I peform the injection of the filler first so that the Botox won't be manipulated by anything after it is injected. Neither of these treatments seem to interfere with patients who have thryoid disease but you can check with your physician.

Just be certain that your injecting physician is aware of your medical status. They will assess you and if appropriate offer you these services. If there is a concern based on their evaluation of you, they will let you know.

Yes, having both types of aesthetic injection treatments at the same time is safe and a common practice.  Be certain to ask your practitioner of things you can do or avoid ahead of time to minimize bruising.

	Combining dermal fillers with Botox or Dysport is an excellent treatment plan.

As long as your physician evaluates your Graves disease and feels that the treatments are indicated, then there should be no problem using both injectables at the same time.
