Is It Safe to Have Blepharoplasty After Juvederm Injection?
It is unlikely that Juvederm for a tear trough deformity would cause a problem for your planned upper lid blepharoplasty. It is important to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. In creating an overall balance it will be important to take into account that you have a temporary filler improving the look of the lower lids (specifically the tear trough area).
Clinical Context
Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid gel that gradually breaks down and is absorbed by the body over time. Because it sits in the skin rather than deeper tissue, it generally doesn't interfere with the eyelid structures your surgeon works with during blepharoplasty or with normal healing. However, if the filler is still fresh or slightly swollen, it can make it harder for your surgeon to judge lower lid contour and symmetry — which is why timing between the two procedures is worth discussing.
