I am considering getting filler in my chin, lips, cheek bone area and jaw line but am unsure if it is safe to do so since I have a heart condition. When I go to the dentist I have to take antibiotics before the appointment. Would I do the same for this?

Answer: Dermal fillers Dear kyleboosh, you should be able to get dermal fillers. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: YES You should not need any antibiotics for a filler treatment. When you go to the dentist, there are a lot of bacteria in the mouth and dental procedures can put some of those in the circulation, thus thinned for antibiotics if you have a heart condition like yours. This is not the case when doing fillers. The skin is cleaned antiseptically prior to the procedure and there is virtually no risk of infection.
