Is it okay to have fillers after an MRI with contrast?

Generally speaking, fillers do not have any side effects when combined with an MRI. The fillers may be seen on your MRI scan. I always recommend an at-home dermarolling (see link below) to my patients to keep overall skin texture healthy and a youthful look combined with filler. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi and thank you for your question! There shouldn't be any issues with getting lip fillers after doing an MRI. I hope it helps and good luck!

I would not see any problem with having lip fillers done the same day after having an MRI with contrast. The fillers should not be affected by the imaging study with contrast.

Yes, you are okay to have a an MRI with contrast and lip filler performed the same day. Be sure to ice the lips in the evening and keep your head slightly elevated while you sleep to reduce the chance of swelling the next day.

Contrast given during an MRI is called gadolinium and is less toxic than the iodinated contrast that is given with a CT scan. Gadolinium is not an issue with fillers and vice versa. Not sure which part of the body you are doing fillers but if you are doing the temples and you go for brain MRI, the radiologist might see the newly inserted filler and might wonder what it is. If this is the case, you would want to do MRI first and then have the fillers inserted.
