Can I get Juvederm lip injections if I have a canker sore?

Question

Canker sore is almost healed. Was caused from an abrasion from my lower fixed retainer. I really don't want to reschedule my appointment. Can I still get the Juvederm?

Dear Alexmscotty,I would recommend that you wait until the canker sore has fully healed before getting any injections into the lips. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest you wait till the cold sore or canker sore is gone before doing any lip fillers.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Alex,
Its best to wait until the cold sore is resolved.  You may get an uneven result if the injector doesn't compensate for the swelling.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I would wait till the sore is completely healed before getting any lip injections. It is best to get a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

Christian N. Ford, MD · Answer

Thank you for your excellent question.  It is difficult to comment on your particular situation without an examination.  In general, I would suggest waiting until the area is fully healed.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!
