Hi and thank you for your question. I am not an infectious disease specialist of course, but will try to contribute a little. MRSA is just a drug resistant form of a Staph. bacteria that is normally found on everyone's skin all of the time. In general, it not more aggressive than the garden variety Staph, its just that its harder to get rid of once you have an infection. Probably the more important issue would be to determine if you have any immunocompromise. Do you have diabetes? Are you taking steroids? Are you slow to heal from cuts, etc.? Without any scientific evidence to support my suggestion, perhaps the most cautious way to move forward (other than not moving forward) would be to not only clean your skin in the area of anticipated injections, but to disinfect the area with betadine or similar surgical prep. Essentially, act as if it were a real surgery and inject in a sterile field rather than a "clean" field which is what we would normally do. As you imply, using a shorter lasting filler is probably a good idea (hyaluronic acid). I hope this helps a little and be well.
If you had a previous MRSA infection , it is unlikely that with good technique with injectable fillers that you would have a problem.
It is important to get screened for MRSA to ensure you are not a carrier before proceeding with any filler injections.

Hi there, thanks for the question. I think you look great! Your lower lip is larger than your upper lip, which is natural, but sometimes young women want more of an upper pout so we add some lip filler to the area. I like how your chin is just a little behind your lower lip, so I wouldn't...
First of all, congratulations on quitting benzodiazepine, as that’s what you wanted to do. Secondly, eye bags form as a result of decreased facial volume, so yes, literally “filling up” specific areas of your face with fillers can be an effective solution to your undereye bags. I recommend optin...
