Can I get lip filler if I currently have braces and will the filler interfere with future procedures?

Question

I am a male with a thin upper lip not in balance with the lower lip, I would like to get lip filler in my upper lip to balance this out, now the problem is that I have braces and am planning to get bimax and rhinoplasty. Will lipfiller interfere with these procedures and will having braces be a problem? Thank you

Yes, you will be able to have lip filler even with braces and a rhinoplasty planned. Be sure to visit with an experienced injector for treatment.  She/He can help you achieve more of the look you are wanting with your lips.

I don’t think getting fillers would interfere with your upcoming procedures, but to know for sure you would need to ask those providers.
Most people have a lower lip that’s bigger than their upper lip.
I generally avoid injecting only the upper lip because it tends to look unnatural. I almost exclusively, treat both the upper and lower lip and usually maintain a natural ratio between the two lips because that’s what looks correct. 
Each provider will have their own way of doing things, and there is substantial discrepancy in both skills and experience when it comes to these treatments.
Best,
