I have a very mild sore throat & am due for Juvederm lip filler tomorrow

Question

I wouldn't even consider this if I didn't suffer from allergies & sinus issues nearly constantly, but aside from the common courtesy factor of it all, IF I am infact sick (I have no fever or anything just a sore throat), what would be the worst complications that could occur from getting lip fillers while under the weather? I'd cancel but generally I don't know if I'm actually sick or if it's my chronic allergies until I develop more symptoms or get a fever

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin. This is a great question. If you are feeling unwell, I recommend rescheduling your appointment for everyone's safety. In terms of complications, there are none other than potential complications associated with filler injections.  I hope this helps and best of luck!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If you suspect you may have an active infection it is best if you reschedule your appointment until you are feeling healthy.  This is best for you as well as the other staff or patients you may come into contact with.
