I took an aspirin before my injections. Will it ruin or move my under eye filler?

Question

I took an aspirin and I will be getting under eye fillers within this week. Will it cause any complications? Also, will it cause the under eye filler to shift, drop or move elsewhere on the face? What could lots of bruising do to the under eye area or to the filler?

Thank you for your question.  Please do not worry about filler moving due to aspirin. It doesn't happen. Taking aspirin simply slightly increased your change of developing a potential bruise.  I only use microcannulas for tear trough area and hope your provider does the same.  It decreases potential for bruising and swelling.  Good luck. Best, Dr. Avaliani

Aspirin will not affect the filler. What aspirin made do is cause bruising. If  bruising does happen it's temporary. So I would not worry too much about having taken aspirin.

Lee B. Daniel, MD · Answer

Taking aspirin won't ruin your results or cause injectable fillers to migrate, but can increase the risk of post-injection bruising because aspirin thins the blood. Be sure you let your injector know that you've taken aspirin and the dose so they're aware before your procedure. Best of luck to you.

There is nothing to worry about. Other than a slightly increased risk of bruising, the Aspirin will not cause any other issues.

Renata Wix-Harris, MD · Answer

Aspirin affect the function of platelets and therefore will increase your risk of bruising. You can reduce that risk but using a cannula, which I feel is safer and better in that area anyway. Bruising in itself doesn't lead to any major problems or complications. It will not cause the filler to move or shift. It just causes temporary discoloration and swelling. Good luck!
