Will Dental Work Ruin Juvederm Results?

Houston7689Mar 17, 2011
I Am Scheduled for Juvederm in the Nasolabial Fold and Around my mouth. 5 days later I am scheduled for gum implants with the roof of my mouth for donor site (this will be under general anesthesi). I am worried that all the tugging and work in my mouth will cause the fillers to move since it's so soon after. Is this a legitimate concern? Will the filler be stable enough and not move around during 3 hour surgery where my face and lips will likely be moved a good bit? Thank you.

Juvederm should not be able to be felt under the skin after 2 months. Also, any swelling should be gone by then. I would consider an injection of hyaluronidase to get rid of the Juvederm and start over. Andrew Campbell, M.D. Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

You gave few good quality before and after pictures. Your swelling and bruising is not bad for one day. Just be patient.  It will be OK in a few days. I don't think ice will help much after a day. Time alone will take care of it.

It may be that you have an overcorrection of filler towards the corners of the lips rather than swelling, but without an examination I couldn't be certain, but swelling usually does not appear this way.  If you still want fuller lips in the center, I would advise that the corners of the...

Thank you for your question and for sharing your concern. For dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvederm, I would not recommend waiting any period of time after stopping Accutane or even while on Accutane. This would be very different if I was combining dermal filler's with any energy device...

Yes, you can go ahead and get your Juvederm safely.  There is no cross-reaction between penicillin and juvederm, so people who are allergic to one, won't be allergic to the other.   All the best,
