Question

Hi I’ve been on the inflximab remsima injection for a year now. Without any IBD flare up symptoms, Can I get lip fillers now? Is it safe to do so? Thankyou

I would ask your injector to prescribe Zovirax first to prevent cold sores since your immune system is suppressed.

Hello; When I analyze for you as a rheumatoid arthritis or Chron patient; depending on the medication that you use, I find it more appropriately; not to do it. The possibility of side effects is very high. Unfortunately, filling procedures are risky in diseases that progress with inflammation. You can have Ulthera or Thermage technique, which are used in non-surgical face lifting area. Moreover, you can have laser procedures done. Nevertheless, you should avoid from aesthetic procedures such as filler injections for your whole life. Have a nice day.
