I have read other posts on this site suggesting that diabetes is not a contraindication for use of fillers generally (assuming good control), but what about around the eyes?

Answer: Fillers in diabetics Diabetics can undergo filler injections without any problem. It is important to follow a strict aseptic technique to avoid any chance of infection as diabetics are more likely to develop infection.Injections around the eyes in the tear trough carry the same risks for diabetics as for any other person. It is important to avoid any intravascular injection.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Fillers on diabetics My daughter is a type 1 diabetic with good control. I have done fillers on her for several years and would never do anything that would in any way compromise her. There are no issues with injecting diabetics. You just need to find a good injector!"This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
