Answer: Cold sores Yes it is true that lip fillers can trigger cold sores for those who are prone to them. Your practitioner can write you a prescription for anti viral medication such a Aciclovir which you can start taking before and after you have your fillers to prevent an outbreak.

Answer: Lip Fillers with Herpes Simplex Virus Trauma to the area around the lips in someone with a history of herpes simplex breakouts can trigger a breakout. This includes treatments like injections, lasers, and chemical peels. I would recommend you would take valacyclovir (Valtrex) at least the morning before and the evening after the injection as a preventative.
