Is it safe to use Juvederm while pregnant?

Although Juvederm is made form hyaluronic acid which is natural to the body, theoretically there should notbe any issues with injecting it into someone who is pregnant. Unfortunately there have not be any definitive studies to prove safety in pregnant women. Because of this, the company (Allergan) and our office do not recommend Juvederm injections while pregnant.

Because Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler, made of naturally occurring substance in your own body, it is most likely safe for use on pregnant women. However, there are also no conclusive studies that point one way or another. In these types of cases, it is always best to err on the side of caution and wait to receive Juvederm or any cosmetic injectable treatment until after the child has been born.

Thank you for your
question. It is recommended to avoid all fillers while pregnant. 

To be sure, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.#Juvederm and #restylane fillers are likely safe for the #pregnant women as their component, hyaluronic acid, is a naturally-occuring molecule in the human body. That being said, it has not been tested in pregnant women and for these reasons, dermal fillers, botox and dysport should not be used on pregnant ladies nor if they are breast-feeding.Same rules apply to cosmetic surgery: pregnant women should not undergo elective surgery if pregnant as to not risk the pregnancy.It is always importante to discuss your situation with your #PlasticSurgeon should you be trying to get pregnant or if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.Dr. Marc DuPere

I avoid doing cosmetic treatments on patients that are pregnant, however they are likely safe since they are composed of a substance that is already in our skin.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. I recommend to avoid all Juvederm products while pregnant or breast feeding. All the best,

It is a good policy to avoid any elective procedures, like Juvederm injections, while pregnant. 

Probably is safe but we never recommend any cosmetic, or medically unnecessary procedures during pregnancy. Consider this - what if you developed a very rare side effect such as skin necrosis (very very rare) or an infection that would need further treatment ? That would cause a problem with your pregnancy ... This is a good reason to avoid unnecessary problems that could jeopardize your pregnancy. Therefore it is best to wait until after you deliver your child. 

Since cosmetic procedures aren't tested on pregnant women, the question hasn't been scientifically studied. However, many tens (or hundreds) of thousands of women worldwide have probably been treated with cosmetic products such as fillers and Botox in the early months of pregnancy when they didn't know they were pregnant, without any known adverse consequences. Having said that, it's wise not to perform unnecessary procedures on a woman during pregnancy, and most physicians do not.

I would not suggest you get any fillers while pregnant. It's best to just avoid all "unnecessary" procedures. "This
