I have fillers in my face and I need to get an MRI of my head. Will this affect the fillers?

Question

MRI of my head. I have fillers ins my face. I want to know if the fillers will be affected, should I be concerned?

Hi @sheilafierro.  An MRI will not alter or interact with injectable fillers in any way.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

The fillers will not be affected by the MRI scan. However, you might want to let them know since the fillers can be seen as increased soft tissue density on the films which may be misinterpreted by the radiologist.

Thank you for your question. An MRI is magnetic technology and will not alter or interact with injectable fillers in any way. You should not be concerned.

Good luck!

Having an MRI of the head would not affect fillers that were previously injected into the face.  You should not be concerned.
