I realize that injections to the lip area can activate a cold sore during the procedure but I'm wondering, is there a higher occurrence of flare-ups after the initial injection for the months following?

Answer: Lip injections can trigger a cold sore Cold sores can be triggered by any sort of stress, physical or emotional. The introduction of a needle into the lip, as during a filler injection, is one such stressor. The concern for cold sores is usually immediately after the treatment. For this reason, I recommend that anyone with a history of cold sores start an antiviral prophylactically prior to lip injections.

Answer: Lip injections and cold sores. If you have a history of cold sores on the lips (herpes labialis), then it's a good idea to have your doctor prescribe an anti-viral drug like valcyclovir to be taken around the time of your lip injection.

Answer: Cold Sores After Lip Injections Any stress such as lip injections to the mouth area could cause a cold sore flare up. You are more likely to experience this soon after the procedure. To prevent this from happening you may be prescribed anti-viral medication before the injection. The months following your injections should not cause an increase in cold sore flare-ups.
