Answer: Fillers You can still enjoy the benefits of Botox and fillers if you are taking blood thinning medications. You will have a higher chance of bruising from these treatments. Be sure to tell you injector about all medications and supplements that you take prior to treatment. I recommend seeing an expert injector.

Answer: Fillers with Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, & others, can be injected in some patients who take Coumadin & other blood thinners I have treated many patients who are on anticoagulants, with fillers with the approval of their treating physicians. For those who take coumadin, we ensure that a recent blood test (INR) is checked and that the level of blood thinning is reasonable and not too high, before we do the injections of Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, Vollure, Volbella, Belotero and others.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.

Answer: Fillers and Coumadin Yes, you can be treated with fillers to your face. However, coumadin is an oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) that may cause more bleeding and bruising to the treated area. To minimize bleeding and bruising you can take Arnica Montana about three days before and a couple days after treatment.
