Can I have lip fillers done when I have a stomach bug?

Question

I have H-pylori and I was wondering if there is no complications of getting lip fillers done ? and if it is Ok how long should I wait till I can take the medication given for this stomach bug ? Thanks

It is completely fine to have lip filler when you have H.Pylori. H.Pylori is a bacteria that causes gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) and stomach ulcers and is treated with a course of antibiotics and acid-blockers. Lots of people have H.Pylori without knowing it. Getting lip filler does not have any negative effect on the treatment for H.Pylori and will not increase your risk of negative side effects from the filler. Good luck.

Thank you for your question.  I recommend you wait until you are no longer sick, and your injector would appreciate that since they are likely to catch it from you.
