Can I do a lip tattoo after Juvederm injections?

Question

I have juvederm in my lips for the last 5 years, and now I also want to do a permanent lip tattoo. Will tattoo look funny when the filler start to dissolve? Also, can I do more injections 1 week after tattoo? Or should I do injections first and tattoo in a week? Thank you

Due to the healing involved, I recommend doing the lip tattoo first followed by the filler. I recommend seeing an expert for best outcomes. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.Once the filler absorbs, the tattoo may look a little funny because it will be bigger than what your natural lip line is. It would make more sense to do the filler first, so that the person doing the tattoo has a guide of how big you want the tattoo to be. Good luck.

I would recommend getting the lip filler first. Letting that heal completely and then get the lip tattoo. Otherwise, the tattoo will stretch with the filler and it may look odd.

Thank you for your
question. Your tattoo will look different after lip injections. I recommend
getting the lip injections first and then waiting for a couple weeks before
getting the permanent lip tattoo. Please make sure you seek treatment from a
board-certified dermatologist.
