What should I do if I become pregnant after receiving hyaluronic acid injections?
Disease description:
I recently had hyaluronic acid injections, but suddenly found out I'm pregnant. What should I do if I got hyaluronic acid injections before knowing I was pregnant?
If a woman discovers she is pregnant after receiving hyaluronic acid injections, she may continue the pregnancy. However, regular prenatal check-ups and fetal anomaly screenings should still be conducted under the guidance of a physician, with close attention paid to fetal development as well as the mother's personal health condition. Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan, is a naturally occurring substance in the human body and is widely used by women for cosmetic purposes such as wrinkle reduction and aesthetic enhancement. Due to its high biocompatibility with human tissues, hyaluronic acid generally does not cause significant side effects. It is typically gradually eliminated from the body within approximately 6 to 8 months after injection. Theoretically, hyaluronic acid injections are not expected to significantly affect fetal development.
