Does taking Predisolone affect filler outcome?

Question

I have been taking 25mg of Pedisolone daily for 2 weeks. I finished this one week ago. Is it safe to have 1ml cheek filler? Will there be any side affects or negative outcomes with the filler? Am I better off waiting until steroid is out of my system?

Jane Shanahan, MBBS, FRACGP · Answer

It all depends on the reason you were taking prednisolone. if it is because of an autoimmune condition, it may preclude you from having filler until the condition is stabilised. Prednisolone can alter the immune system and may make you more predisposed to infection, bruising or even nodule formation
it would be best to delay the filler treatment until you are completely well

Steroids (prednisone) does not affect the final results. Patients on high dose or long-term steroid therapy may be more susceptible to infections and bruising. You were on medium dose short course steroid which should not cause any problems. It is important to discuss the underlying problem that needed steroid therapy with your provider.
Good luck!

I dont see any need to wait .We sometimes use prednisole to limit swelling associated with having dermal filler with no unwanted interaction anticipated .If however the condition for which you are taking prednisolone is an active autoimmune condition then this would be reason to defer treatment until the condition is under control

Thanks for the question. You can have dermal filler injection in your cheek while taking oral prednisone. Good luck from Lake Oswego.
