Can I get lip filler even when I have nerve damage due to chin implant?

The nerve that is likely damaged from the chin implant will not be affected by having lip filler. There is a risk of any filler in any location infiltrating a vessel so it is important to visit an experienced injector who is board-certified in plastic surgery.

You should be able to have lip fillers if you choose even with nerve damage from a chin implant. Serious complications from treatment are rare. Common issues are swelling and bruising. I encourage you to speak with your injector about your concerns.

Injury to the sensory nerve of the lower lip is known as a rare complication of chin augmentation. It is very rarely permanent, but recovery may take up to 2 years! In your case, I do not see reason why you should not have filler in the lips, for purpose of shaping and augmentation. However, it should be done by a board certified plastic surgeon rather than "injector". Good luck.

Having neurapraxia from a previous chin, implant, should not prevent you from having lip fillers if you would like. Fillers have a multitude of risks involved. The most common are bruising and temporary disfigurement. The lips are one of the most vascular parts of the body and because of this summer blood vessels will be injured and many patients experience at least some bruising. This is an a significant difference in overall experience and aesthetic outcomes, depending on who you choose as your provider.
Try to find the most talented and experienced provider in your community. Preferably a skilled plastic surgeon who does their own injections.
