Juvederm Lip Injections While Sick?

marie278
Hello, I'm in Cape Town and am nearing the end of my stay. I've been very interested in trying out lip fillers and was recommended a great surgeon here - he said it would be a 10 minute procedure and it's 500$ less to try it out while I'm overseas. However, I've been a little sick with a sinus infection. My timeline is dwindling and I have only a few days to make my appointment; are there significant risks to getting this kind of injection while still recovering from an illness?
