I have a couple of blood vessels visible on the underside of my lip. Is it safe to get lip fillers? (photo)

Question

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, you can have lip augmentation with fillers. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising. Look for a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an expert in fillers to discuss your desired results and concerns and go over the cost of your procedure. 
I hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question. The lips are very vascular with numerous vessels in all of us. Injectors are aware of the vascularity and inject accordingly. Most injections are in the vermillion border which lies just inside the mucosa of the lip. I also utilize ice in the injection process which shrinks vessels as well. I think the most important factor when considering any filler injection is to avoid products which make you bleed. These include, Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Advil, fish oil, vitamin E and flaxseed oil. If you can avoid these products 5 days prior to your procedure your results will be enhanced. Best of luck to you.

Yes, you can have filler in your lips. I would suggest an in-person consultation with a seasoned injector. They will do an assessment and discuss with you your concerns and aesthetic goals. They can answer any questions that you may have in regards to risks and side effects with dermal fillers. Best of luck.

Hello, thank you for your question. The lips are highly vascular, meaning that many arteries and veins run through them and sometimes they are more visible on some people. So its absolutely fine to treat your lips with filler. An experienced injector will be able to examine and avoid the blood vessels as best as possible to decrease the chances of bruising. 
All the best,

These blood vessels will not be a problem with regards to lip filler treatment. I recommend you see an experienced injector for best results. I prefer hyaluronic acid based fillers like Restylane and Restylane Silk when treating the lips. Good luck!
