Is it safe to get fillers and botox while going through immunotherapy for lung cancer?

Question

Can you have face fillers and Botox whilst going through immunotherapy for lung cancer? I feel great and treatment is working.

Dear Barnardos,I’m relieved to read your treatment is working for your lung cancer. Botox would be fine but just for now I would postpone any filler treatments. Filler is a foreign body (albeit very biocompatible) with the potential to get infected or set up an immune response. Just wait a little longer until your lung treatment is finished. Try a bit of good skin care, peels and microneedling if you want a bit of a freshen up? That’s my advice.Kindest regards,Dr Maeve Kenningham
