My doctors has told me that fillers and Humira contradict and I that I might get an infection. Is that true? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your question.  Yes Humira can increase your risk of infection but if performed under sterile technique you can have fillers placed for facial rejuvenation purposes.  Hope this helps.

Humira is not a contraindication for injectable fillers or neurotoxins. While there is cause for concern with surgical procedures and healing, I have seen no discussion of this with fillers. I would recommend a second opinion from an experienced injector.

There are absolute or relative contradictaions to both surgical and no surgical treatments.  I do not feel humira treatment is an absolute contraindication to fillers but I do feel that patients on any type of immunosuppressive therapy should be treated with extra special attention to sterile technique to avoid infections. You should seek treatment at a Plastic Surgeon or Dermatology office

I’m not aware of any specific contraindication to using fillers in situations in which a patient takes humira. I think your doctor is concerned , rightfully so, that any treatment that increases chances of an infection should be avoided. 

Yes, it is true that Humira would increase your risk of infection from filler treatment but this does not mean that you cannot have filler. Of course, sterile technique would need to be used to minimize the risk of infection. I recommend you see an experienced injector for an in person consultation.
