Can I have lip filler dissolved while breastfeeding?

B
barbiegirl718May 11, 2022

I had lip filler done right before I found out I was pregnant and I absolutely hate it. I dealt with it while I was pregnant hoping it would dissolve on its own but it's been a year now and it's still very much there. I would love to have it dissolved but I can't find much information on wether that is safe while I'm breastfeeding. Can anyone help answer this? If it is not safe, is there a recommended "wait time" after to pump and dump before resuming breastfeeding?

Hi @Good321230. I am sorry you are experiencing these symptoms. I would recommend dissolving the filler since you are experiencing systemic symptoms. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Hi, you can google this relatively new procedure, which is Doxycycline injections for malar festoons/edema/crescents. The technique has been published for other providers to follow. I recently started to offer it, and it appears to work. In the study, they graded the festoons (0 for no festoon,...
