Can stomach bug cause long-term fillers to swell?

Question

Sickness bug has caused my 1yr old fillers swell Is this normal What should I do

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

It's uncommon for a stomach bug or illness to directly cause fillers to swell, but it could be possible if the illness triggers an inflammatory response in your body. Sometimes, stress, dehydration, or changes in your immune system can lead to temporary swelling in areas where you have fillers. However, it's important to consult with the healthcare professional who administered your fillers to rule out any other potential causes and to receive personalized advice. They can assess the situation and determine if any treatment is necessary. If you experience severe swelling, pain, or any other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
