Is it safe to get lip fillers prior to pregnancy?

Question

I've had lip fillers 1.5 year ago, it was either Restylane or Juvederm, to be honest I can't recall. The results are now completely faded, and I'm interested in getting fillers again. The thing is that my husband and I are trying for a baby. I know fillers are forbidden during pregnancy, how about right before pregnancy? Thank you.

It is safe to get lip fillers prior to pregnancy.  You will want to be sure that you are not pregnant at the time of your filler treatment.  See an experienced injector near you.

You may absolutely have lip fillers prior to pregnancy. Because their safety is not known during pregnancy as studies do not include pregnant women, we avoid them during this time.

Dear evening_primrose,
If you are not pregnant, then lip fillers should be fine. If you are considering lip augmentation, I suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Hi,The general consensus is that elective injectable procedures should be avoided DURING pregnancy because the safety of such procedures has not been demonstrated. However, if you are not yet pregnant, there is no reason to avoid treatment.Best,

Thank you for sharing your question.  There would not be any issue in resuming dermal filler placement into your lips if not pregnant.  Hope this helps.
