Can you get lip injections if you get cold sores? I get maybe 1 or 2 a year and they are very minor as long as I use abreva from the first sign. What would I need to do before and after injections to minimize the possibility of cold sores?

Answer: Lip Augmentation and Cold Sores Cschultz85. As long as there is no active outbreak, there should be no problem having lip augmentation with fillers. Just let your doctor know about your history. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Good luck!

Answer: Lip Injection Preparation Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV1) is a common condition with symptoms that include burning rashes, and blisters. The virus lies dormant leaving some patients unaware they are carriers. HSV1 can be reactivated by an injury, including lip injections. Discuss taking anti-viral medication with your physician prior to your next lip injection. This may lessen the chance of reoccurrence.
