Female, 20 - can you get lip fillers if you have chronic pain?

Thank you for sharing your question. There should not be any issue with you receiving dermal fillers in the light your chronic pain. Hope this helps.

There should be no issue with you having fillers or botox if you have chronic pain. That said, you may want to do everything you can to minimize discomfort of the procedure (since you already have enough pain to begin with!), so consider taking 2 acetaminophen and applying a topical anesthetic cream about 20-30 minutes before your lip filler procedure. Most importantly for best results and safety and minimizing discomfort, see your local cosmetic dermatologist.

Most likely your response to lip fillers will be just like everybody else. Most people use hyaluronic acid-based fillers which is a natural substance that exists in everybody’s body.

Results and the overall experience can be highly provider dependent.

Find a highly reputable properly qualified provider and discuss your medical history and concerns with them as part of a consultation.

Best,

Hi and welcome to our forum!Hyaluronic acid lip fillers are biologically inert and should not be a source of significant inflammation. The risk of complications should not be affected. However, if your back pain is of autoimmune origin, you should not undergo cosmetic lip injection.Best wishes...
