Fillers and high blood pressure

As long as your blood pressure is under control and you are medically stable it should be no problem to have filler injections.

HBP and fillers

There should not be a problem with using fillers in people who have high blood pressure. If you are on blood thinners, such as aspirin, then there may be more bruising and other side effects so your doctor should speak to you about that.

Fillers while on blood pressure medication.

I would not discontinue your blood pressure medication in preparation for your filler injections.

Good luck.

Not a Problem

Blood pressure medications are not contraindicated in facial filler use. If your blood pressure should be high around the time of your filler injection, you can get extra bruising though so be sure to take your medicine.

Fillers and High Blood Pressure

Fillers generally do not have an effect on blood pressure. However, you should bring this to the attention of your physician. Fillers just as Juvederm and Restylane typically are considered safe in patients with this type of history.
