Lip filler spaced a couple days after peel?

Question

Hello, I am getting a chemical peel done by my esthetician on a Wednesday and was planning to get my lips filled on Friday. Since I’ll have the time off of work for the downtime of the peel I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone. Is it safe to get filler in lips a couple days after my chemical peel has been performed?

Hi. There should be no problem with you having both treatments within a couple days of each other. The only thing that would be a concern was if you were very uncomfortable after your peel and didn’t want to add the discomfort of lips to that mix, otherwise there is no reason you couldn’t have both. Enjoy your days of beauty treatment! I hope this has helped.

It should be fine to have lip filler a couple of days after your chemical peel.  It is always best to check with your injector just to be sure.

Hello! A peel isn't performed on the red portion of the lip where filler is most often injected. Sometimes, though, filler is placed in the white portion of the lip. If that's your case, I would wait 1-2 weeks to allow swelling to settle before proceeding. If the peel isn't going near the lips, you may be fine after a few days. Waiting should only help if you're concerned. Hope this is useful!

Thank you for your question! It’s considered safe to undergo both treatments within a couple days of each other. That said, if you experience a lot of redness and irritation in the days after your peel, you may not feel up to getting lip filler a few days later (swelling and discomfort may be a little more pronounced in the lip area during that time). Hope this helps!

There is absolutely no issue or concern in having lip filler a couple days (or even the same day) after getting a chemical peel.
