Is it safe to undergo general anesthesia 72 hours after Juvederm lip fillers?

Question

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, you should be able to have general anesthesia 72 hours after lip fillers. Keep in mind, it can take up to 2 weeks for final results with lip fillers. Hope this helps.

Typically before surgery the anesthesiologist will talk with you about your surgical history.  Let your surgeon and anesthesiologist know about your recent aesthetic injectable and all of the medicine you're one no matter how insignificant it may seem.  Ideally you would wait until after the surgery to have your injectables but I don't think it will interfere with your procedure because the substance stays within a localized area.

You shouldn't have any issues with general anesthesia after having had your lip augmentation. But I would tell the anesthesiologist that your lips May swell during or immediately after the procedure as it's still very early since your lip augmentation was performed. Good luck from New York City

The only issue I see is the tube in your mouth might "mush" the filler out of place if the tube is in there long.It's probably ok but just let the anesthetist know where you prefer the tube to be.
