Will certain medication make me bruise more after getting fillers, such as Juvederm?

No, these are unlikely to increase bruising, but I recommend waiting until your infection clears. I also recommend injections with cannulas to limit bruising. Hope this helps.

No, these medications shouldn't increase bruising. I use cannulas to limit bruising. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

There are certain medications that can cause increased bruising such as ibuprofen, ginko biloba among other herbal supplements, and obviously blood thinners like coumadin. Antibiotics and prednisone should not make you bruise more. Considering you are on antibiotics, I don't see why you can't get injected as long as you don't have any acute symptoms in the area, such as tenderness or swelling.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Hello! You should wait until your infection clears before getting filler but the medications you listed should not increase your risk of bruising. There are many over the counter meds that will, however, to include ibuprofen, advil, aspirin and supplements such as glucosamine, fish oil, etc. It is usually best to refrain from taking anything over the counter except tylenol for ten days prior to injection. Good luck!

Thank you for your question! I recommend you avoid avoid having treatment with filler until your sinus infection has resolved and you have finished your course of steroids and antibiotics. This will minimize risk of an infection after the filler treatment. Microcannulas can be used during the filler injection to minimize bruising and swelling from the treatment. Best of luck!
