Thank you for your question. You should be safe to get lip filler despite your allergy to perfume and hair dye. Please consult with an experienced injector and voice your concerns.

There should be no problem having lip fillers while being sensitive to hair dye and perfume.  A reaction should not be seen, due to the sensitivities.

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Filler side effects are bruising and swelling that lasts up to 2 weeks. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

Fillers are used to contour facial features or add volume. You should be completely fine. The doctor can do a sensitivity test prior to injection as well.

Hello and thank you for question. The sensitivity you have to hair dye and perfumes should not be a factor when getting fillers. I think you should be fine with no adverse side effects. Best wishes.Dr. T

You should be fine to have fillers despite having a sensitivity to dye and perfumes.  Please note that you may have bruising and/or swelling after filler injections. You will be see the final result from your treatment two weeks after injection.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

Hair dye and perfume allergies involve specific chemicals that are not found in injectable fillers, so rest assured that you are highly unlikely to have lip filler allergy.

Hello there,
    I would discuss your concerns with the physician who cares for your medical concerns. If they are ok with you trying lip filler, I then would request a tiny amount of filler be placed in an inconspicuous area on your body to see if there is a reaction. If several weeks go by with no issue, I would then move forward with injections into your actual lip. This is a great way for patients to "try" a product to see how they react to it. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. You should not experience any side affects from getting a lip augmentation due to your sensitivity to fragrances. It would be best to schedule a consultation with a trusted provider prior to treatment for a full assessment. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.There are a variety of different types of fillers and each with different ingredients. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to evaluate your skin and lips, and to determine the appropriate treatment options for you. Take care and good luck.
