Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - What are my lip and cheek augmentation options, besides fillers?

Question

I have Mast Cell and can't use fillers. What are some options to fill my lips a bit, as well as around my nose & maybe my cheeks. Right now I utilize IPL & microneedling and my skin is amazing. I just need help with tightening and some volume. Thank you!

Hi, first, have you had evaluation on specific triggers for the syndrome? Any treatments? Severity of reactions? You may still consider standard treatment - potentially with modifications and pre-treatments to minimize or avoid reactions. For example, if you react to HA filters, you could use Radiasse instead. If you are reacting to tetracaine in numbing medicine, use plain lidocaine (which really reacts), etc. Otherwise, continue with CoolPeel like lasers - we can lightly treat the lip and inside of the lip with this. Continue Microneedeling with RF, etc.
