Will the antibiotics effect My result or will the bacteria cause problems with my lip Filler ?

Just had juvederm put into my lips and I love it although they’re swollen as usual Haha but I just realized im taking penicillin for a very mild case of strep Throat (caught At beginning since I have recurrent strep - yes, need to have my tonsils removed ).

Great question. I think .5ml of Juvederm would be good to accentuate the good volume you already have. I prefer to always add less and potentially add more than add more and have to dissolve. I think .5ml would be a great way to go.
