Is It Safe to Have Blepharoplasty surgery After Juvederm Injection?
Can you have an upper Blepharoplasty procedure if you have undereye/eye contour filler, such as Juvederm in place? The filler is in the tear trough area but extends outwards under the eye. Should I mention this to my surgeon?
Juvederm and Blepharoplasty
Thanks for your question. 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). I hope this helps
Juvéderm is a family of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers manufactured by Allergan. Different formulations address different concerns — Voluma for mid-face volume, Vollure for nasolabial folds, and Ultra/Ultra Plus for lips and perioral lines. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, providing both volume and hydration. Results are immediate and typically last 6–18 months depending on the product and treatment area. HA fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.
The American Board of Plastic Surgery maintains rigorous standards for certification that go well beyond state medical licensing requirements.
