Are juverderm injections in the lips deadly?
hi, i'm 19 years old and over the summer i received 1 souring of juvederm injected into my upper lip because i don't really have one. i know i'm young, but the dr sold me on it and now that its been 5 months later, i've read more about it than i ever have and i totally regret putting an unapproved FDA toxic substance into my body! i read horrific stories about women getting poisoned in their brain cells due to the toxic substance traveling from the location of the injection. I am a hypochondriac and after reading how many deaths are caused by facial juvederm injections around the brows/ in wrinkles etc i was wondering if the same applies for the lips.. all of the deadly stories i've read were all middle aged women who used it to get rid of wrinkles. lips are on the face so i'm assuming lip injections puts you at just as much risk as the other uses.. i am freaking out and convincing myself I'm going to die. someone help me with my anxiety. i've been okay for the past 5 months.. if anything was going to happen would i have shown symptoms by now? someone calm me! there is a toxic unapproved substance in my body and i am SO scared!!!!! i was so naive..

Here are the side effects of Juvederm as shown on Cosmetics.com. Juvederm is FDA approved and recommended it be used by Board Certified Plastic Surgeons.
What Are The Risks and Side Effects To Having Juvederm?
Depending on the procedure and the amount of Juvederm injected, risks include bruising, swelling and infection, all of which are minimized by seeing a board certified practitioner. In clinical testing, the most commonly reported side effects included temporary injection site reactions like redness, pain and tenderness, skin firmness and lumps and bumps under the skin known as granulomas. According to Allergan, Juvederm's manufacturer, treated areas should not be exposed to excessive sun, or extremely cold weather until initial swelling and redness has been resolved. Laser treatments, chemical peels and other procedures on the skin should be delayed until after receiving Juvederm due to a possible risk of inflammation at the injection site. Most Juvederm providers caution patients that bruising or bleeding at the injection site can be increased by taking aspirin, ibuprofen or any other substance that thins the blood. Juvederm is not indicated for people who have allergies to bacterial proteins or patients with severe allergies marked by a history of anaphylaxis or multiple severe allergies.
