Do not inject into blood vessels. Introduction of these products into the vasculature may lead to embolization, occlusion of the vessels, ischemia, or infarction. Take extra care when injecting soft tissue fillers; for example, after insertion of the needle and just before injection, the plunger rod can be withdrawn slightly to aspirate and verify the needle is not intravascular, inject the product slowly, and apply the least amount of pressure necessary. Rare, but serious, adverse events associated with the intravascular injection of soft tissue fillers in the face have been reported and include temporary or permanent vision impairment, blindness, cerebral ischemia or cerebral hemorrhage leading to stroke, skin necrosis, and damage to underlying facial structures. Immediately stop the injection if a patient exhibits any of the following symptoms: changes in vision, signs of a stroke, blanching of the skin, unusual pain during or shortly after the procedure. Patients should receive prompt medical attention and, possibly, evaluation by an appropriate healthcare professional specialist should an intravascular injection occur

Product use at specific sites in which an active inflammatory process (skin eruptions such as cysts, pimples, rashes, or hives) or infection is present should be deferred until the underlying process has been controlled

To minimize the risk of potential complications, these products should only be used by healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable about the anatomy and the product(s) for use in indicated area(s), and who have appropriate training in facial anatomy, vasculature, safe injection techniques, and identification and management of potential adverse events, including intravascular complications

The potential risks of soft tissue injections should be discussed with patients prior to treatment to ensure they are aware of signs and symptoms of complications

The safety and effectiveness for the treatment of anatomic regions other than indicated areas for each product have not been established in controlled clinical studies

The safety for use of these products in patients with known susceptibility to keloid formation, hypertrophic scarring, and pigmentation disorders has not been studied

The safety for use during pregnancy and in breastfeeding females has not been established

The safety for use of JUVÉDERM^® VOLUMA^® XC has been established in patients between 35 and 65 years of age for cheek augmentation and in patients between 22 and 80 years of age for chin augmentation

The safety for use of JUVÉDERM^® Ultra Plus XC and JUVÉDERM^® Ultra XC in patients under 18 years, and the safety for use of JUVÉDERM^® VOLUX^™ XC, JUVÉDERM^® VOLLURE® XC, and JUVÉDERM^® VOLBELLA® XC in patients under 22 years, has not been established

Dermal filler implantation carries a risk of infection. Follow standard precautions

Dermal fillers should be used with caution in patients on immunosuppressive therapy

Patients taking medications that can prolong bleeding (such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and warfarin) may experience increased bruising or bleeding at treatment sites

Patients who experience skin injury near the site of implantation may be at a higher risk for adverse events

If laser treatment, chemical peel, or any other procedure based on active dermal response is considered after treatment, or before skin has healed from a procedure prior to treatment, there is a possible risk of eliciting an inflammatory reaction at the injection site

The safety for use of JUVÉDERM^® VOLUMA^® XC injectable gel in patients with very thin skin in the mid-face has not been established

The safety for use of JUVÉDERM^® VOLUMA^® XC with cannula for cheek augmentation has not been established in patients with Fitzpatrick Skin Types V and VI

JUVÉDERM^® VOLUMA^® XC was not evaluated in subjects with significant skin laxity of the chin, neck, or jaw in the chin augmentation study

The effect of JUVÉDERM^® VOLUMA^® XC injection into the chin on facial hair growth has not been studied

Patients may experience late-onset adverse events with injectable gel implants, and lateonset nodules with use of JUVÉDERM^® VOLUMA^® XC

Based on preclinical studies, patients should be limited to 20 mL of any JUVÉDERM^® injectable gel per 60 kg (132 lb) body mass per year. The safety of injecting greater amounts has not been established

Injection of more than 9 mL of JUVÉDERM^® VOLUX^™ XC for improvement of jawline definition has not been studied
