Can you get collagen injections if you’ve had Bell’s palsy?

Question

Jacob Sedgh, MD · Answer

There are no contraindications to injection of dermal fillers or collagen stimulants in patients with history of facial nerve weakness including Bell’s palsy.

Mehdi Sina, MD · Answer

Hi,Collagen is no longer injected as far as I know, but you can get other fillers injected after Bell's Palsy. It is best to visit with a medical doctor and make sure that the facial paralysis is indeed "Bell's Palsy" and not something more serious that is misdiagnosed as Bell's.Best,

Jean M. Casello, MD · Answer

Collagen injections are not used anymore.  There is a product called bellafill which does contain some collagen.  If you are considering dermal fillers there should be no contraindications if you have had Bell's palsy.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Collagen injections are no longer available, atleast to my knowledge. However, you can have treatment using hyaluronic acid based fillers.
