Can I have lip filler dissolved while breastfeeding?

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?
