Flu like symptoms after Juvederm? Could I be reacting to the bacteria used to produce Juvederm?

This is most likely coincidental and not due to your Juvederm injections. I recommend following up with your Dr. for an evaluation and any necessary treatment. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your flu symptoms.  The timing is most likely coincidental as Juvederm does not cause the flu or any of its symptoms.  I would recommend seeing your general medicine doctor or internist for an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.  Best wishes.

The flu like symptoms you are experiencing are not related to your Juvederm treatment.  It is just a coincidence that they developed after your injection.  See your primary care doctor for treatment of your symptoms.

This is not related to Juvederm. I would discuss with your physician and see your primary care doctor. You have not developed antibodies to Juvederm, this is not possible. It is not dangerous. 

am1111,I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling well. It is flu season, so your flu-like symptoms may very well be the flu.  A reaction to Juvederm, a hyaluronic acid facial filler, would likely be a local one. You would see it in your cheeks and lips first. I recommend seeing your primary care physician to confirm the diagnosis and for the best supportive measures to get you through your viral illness.
