Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes fillers can be injected, but if the acne is very severe with cysts and pustules Id suggest treating that first to limit any issues.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is generally safe to injection filler as you describe but there are exceptions. For instance, if there is any hint of infection, then it is not safe.

James Shoukas, MD · Answer

The short answer to your question is Yes. You can have filler procedures done with active acne on other areas of your face but it is always best to be evaluated in person by a board certified PS or dermatologist. There are other factors to consider like what topical medications you use for your acne etc..
