Dermatologist Questions Facial Fillers For Wrinkles

Do juvederm fillers get broken down faster if I workout?

Hello!
I am a 21-year-old woman and I've decided to get Juvederm fillers for cheek volume and under the eyes. I know different metabolism break down fillers at different rates so I am wondering does me working out affect how long my fillers would last. (I am a boxer).

I would like to know as much as possible about Juvederm fillers before I actually go through with it. Thanks!

No exercise does not speed up the process of filler breakdown. However the first week or two you may want to avoid trauma or pressure on the face even from sleeping as it can move the filler in the skin until it becomes part of the collagen matrix.
Metabolic rate definitely affects breakdown of fillers. While it is great that you are staying healthy and working out, unfortunately the downside is that your healthy body is more efficient at breaking down the fillers. Over time, your body will replace fillers with collagen. So while you may need closer visits early on, you may find the product and the results will last longer after subsequent treatments.
