Is insomnia after Juvederm and Voluma injections in the temple something that can happen?

A
asaunders12Jun 9, 2019

I have suffered from acute insomnia several nights in a row following my first experience with a facial filler- in to both temples. Could the filler somehow directly or indirectly he causing this through some physiological mechanism or is it more likely my anxiety? I am considering having them dissolved if this continues. Please help, v stressed.

Is it safe to get dermal fillers while breastfeeding?

I appreciate your concern. Dermal fillers contain a very small amount of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine that would not negatively affect your baby while you are breast-feeding. Of course, it is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of each procedure with your doctor!
