A patient asked 5 years ago
A week after I got Juvederm plus on lips I began getting persistent headaches and they have not gone away in months, every single day! MRIs are clear I have been to every single doctor and there is nothing found in my body that’s causing the headaches. Do I remove the filler ?? Could it be causing my headaches? I know people say it’s natural but who knows

Juvederm and Headache

  Hi and thank you for your question! Based on your description, it is very unlikely that the headache is caused by Juvederm, but as we are dealing with complicated human body, it is not impossible. If you have already tried to check all other possible causes and they have all came negative, you can try removing the filler with enzyme as a last recourse. I hope it helps and good luck!
