Can I use Clindamycin Phosphate topical gel 1% after getting Juvederm put into my lips?

Question

I had Juvederm put into my lips about 3 days ago. I normally apply clindamycin phosphate topical gel 1% on my face twice a day, as directed by my dermatologist to help improve my acne. I was wondering if this has any kind of effects on my new pout lips? Will it make my lips dissipate after, and there anything I should know about applying the gel while the filler are in my lips?

Hi Santiago.  There is no interaction between your topical and lip filler.  You can safely use the topical gel after you have had filler injections.  For before and after photos of Los Angeles lip injections with Juvederm, click the link below.

Antibiotic creams should pose no issue for dermal fillers. Three days out should be fine to apply it around your lips.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There is no reason why you cannot use this product after filler is placed.  If you are concerned please speak to your physician.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Lorrie Klein, MD · Answer

Of course you can!  You can typically use any skincare products you would normally use after fillers.
