Lip fillers when pregnant?

Hi there!Good question. Even though there is no evidence to suggest that fillers can do any harm when pregnant, this is exactly why in best practice, injectables should be avoided. Purely as we are not 100% sure.Certainly avoid any further top ups at the moment and also avoid whist breastfeeding for the same reasons. Best wishes,Dr Rupert

I don't think there would be any problem with augmenting the lips with filler even in the midst of pregnancy. However many doctors are petrified to do anything to a pregnant woman.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  You are correct in that there are no studies confirming safety or harm with the administration of dermal fillers during pregnancy.  As a result the policy of most plastic surgeons is that treatment should be delayed until after delivery as a "better safe than sorry" policy.  Hope this helps.

Dear Kri55i
Congratulations on your pregnancy, wonderful news :-)
Thank you for your question, you are absolutely correct that there are no studies. The reason for this is it would be unethical to do a study when the outcome is unknown. It would put the unborn baby at a possible risk. Some fillers do also contain lidocaine in the product. 
As medical practitioners we would not treat anyone pregnant or breast feeding. 
Wishing you all the best in your pregnancy

 Congratulations on your pregnancy! There is no data that shows that fillers represent risk for pregnancy or the baby whatsoever but when it comes to majority to treatments, they are not performed on pregnant women just because of precautions. Doctors can be blamed if something goes wrong and it is hard for prove its safety on pregnant women therefore we do not prefer to do it. The most important thing for you is to focus on your pregnancy and your baby so I would advise you to continue with Juvederm or any other treatment after you deliver your baby. Good luck!
