Can I have dermal fillers if I have hypertrophic scars?

Thank you for posting your question. Since administering dermal fillers and neuromodulators is done using a fine-tipped needle or a blunt-tipped microcannula, subsequent scarring should not be a concern.
Administration with a blunt-tipped cannula provides a needless option for injecting filler into the face. With this technique, tissue is pushed to the sides to cause less trauma than a standard needle. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can assess your concerns and medical history to suggest the best option for you.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi and thanks for your question! Fillers are injected with a needle or cannula which are microscopic insertion points. The history of hypertrophic scars should not affect any future filler placement which should not leave any scars. Best of luck!
