I have autoimmune issues. Is it safe to get Juvederm lip injections?

Darling787
I have been sick for a year with fibromyalgia type symptoms . My strep titers (aso) remain high and my rheumtologist thinks I may have a strain for rheumatic fever . I take penicillin daily which helps with my symptoms . I would really like lip injections but hear gram positive bacteria is a contraindication. And worry my strep levels may cause issues . Thoughts?
