Thank you for your question.  You should be just fine to proceed with lip augmentation given your history of epilepsy.  There is no specific contraindication.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

It is perfectly fine to have Juvederm or other fillers with your history of epilepsy. It will have no effect on your condition.
