I take prednisolone, a blood pressure tablet and MMF for kidney disease. Would you advise I still get Juvederm lip filler?

I am booked in to get lip fillers done at a place local to me, however I take a low dose prednisolone, a blood pressure tablet and MMF due to kidney disease. I feel well in myself, would you advise I still get this treatment even though I take these medications? Thank you

Hello and thank you for your question. We would always recommend a face to face consult and in this case its vital you contact your injector and have an assessment with them. This could be normal or it could be something more serious that needs intervention. We hope that answers your question....

Hello - since it is still very early since your injections, I would recommend waiting 10-14 days before assessing final results. At that time if you still have concerns, I would recommend reaching out to your provider to be seen in person.  Best - Dr. Singleton

Hi there! Based on your pictures, it seems that you may still be swollen. I would wait about 2-3 weeks for the swelling to subside. If it still seems off, talk to your injector.All the best!
