I've been getting facial fillers for 6 years and I'm very happy with the results. I'm in my early 30s and I started worrying about the prolonged effects. I've read that there are no studies indicating a connection between facial filler and cancer, but since fillers are still new there are no longitudinal studies. Medically speaking, is it reasonable to assume there are no long term indications of cancer since nothing has arisen at this stage? Has it been long enough to make that assumption?
Answer: Filler Complications There is absolutely no research or literature to support any link between fillers and cancer, and I would not be concerned. There are no long-term side effects to filler injections that are known.

Answer: Fillers and Cancer Is there A Link? Fillers cannot cause cancers. I suggest you see your physician if you are concerned but there is no correlation in the literature. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Filler risks Thanks for your question. Most fillers currently used are made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is something that already exists in your body, so the risk of reaction to injection is very low. There is no evidence of filler use causing cancer. There have been millions upon millions of patients injected, so if there was a significant association it would almost certainly have been identified by now. With that being said, we learn new things every day and there is always risk (however small it may be) with any intervention. Warm regards.

Answer: Facial Fillers do not cause Cancer There are several different types of fillers, the most prevalent is the ones made from Hyaluronic acid (HA) This is a naturally occuring chemical in your body associated with collagen production. These fillers have a huge and long safety profile based on the many years and thousands of times these products have been injected into the skin.
