Would it be safe to get lip fillers (Juvederm) the day before having a Brazilian butt lift ?

In a properly done lip augmentation a filler is carefully injected in various areas of the lip to enhance BOTH deficient volume as well as to bring our some of its distinctive structures (such as the Cupid's Bow and philtral columns). There is not much point of doing so and then having you lay on your face with a plastic airway crossing your lips delivering oxygen and anesthesia gas the next day. Doing so MAY deform the goals achieved a day earlier.Alternatively, IF your Plastic surgeon is doing the lip, why not ask him to inject the lip at the and of your surgery??Good Luck.Peter Aldea  MDMemphis, TN

Hello Angie2193,If you are receiving general anesthesia or will be placed on your stomach for the procedure, then I would wait until after.  The reason is that if you have general anesthesia, the breathing tube can push the filler to the wrong spot.  The same is true if they are putting you on your stomach.  If you can get the filler at least 14 days before your surgery, you should be fine.  I would recommend you discuss this with your injector prior to any treatment.  I hope this helps and good luck.
