I am a Hepatitis B carrier on Baraclude medication (Entecavir 0.5mg). I need to know, am I a suitable candidate for Botox, Restylane, or any other semi-permanent cosmetic injections? Will they affect my liver function? I do not want to die looking good. Please help. Thank you.

Answer: Hepatitis B carrier and Botox or Filler Botox and temporary or semi-permanent fillers are not contraindicated in hepatitis B carriers. If you have active liver disease, you could be at increased risk of bruising/bleeding with the injections. I do not know if health care practitioners in Singapore are required to have the hep B vaccination series, but your injecting practitioner should be notified that you are a carrier.

Answer: No Contraindication Botox and dermal fillers a local agents. This means they are injected into a fold or wrinkle and stay within the tissues into which they've been injected. Botox and dermal fillers are not metabolized by the liver. They are metabolized locally. So there is no contraindication to getting Botox or dermal filler. Talk to your Hepatitis doctor and let your plastic surgeon know your history.
