Is having shingles when getting your lips done bad?

Thank you erikalbrito for your question.  You should absolutely not have any injections while having a shingle outbreak. Best of luck.

One should never have lips augmented while having shingles anywhere on the body just because the shingles outbreak can potentially occur in the lip area. Good luck from New York City

Can not really understand the question, however if one is having Shingles, it can spread to the lips as the injection points can break skin. The solution is to take anti-viral medications to reduce the spread of the virus. I would continue to take the medication for 3 days after lip injections on the side of safety. Dr Isobel Walker.
