Can the infection in teeth cause lip filler to dissolve?

While the tooth infection will not directly cause the filler to dissolve, sometimes the inflammatory/ immune response your body creates to heal the infection can cause premature dissolving of the "foreign body/ hyaluronic acid".  I have seen this in some patients when they have an upper respiratory infection, etc. The area with filler swells more than usual and seemingly loses volume over the next few days.  

Thanks for your question. Having a tooth infection should not affect your filler at all. Be sure to get that infection taken care of and not do any fillers for 2 weeks before or after dental work, to be extra cautious!

Great question.  Your dental infection, known as pericoronitis, will not affect your lip filler.  Infections of the teeth, gums, and bones of the jaws are typically confined to those anatomic areas unless they are not treated, in which case they spread to the deeper layers of the skin.  By this time, there is appreciable swelling and redness of the face.  In this situation, the region with fillers would be swollen and would mask the changes achieved by filler.  I would ensure the situation does not progress to this point.  Make sure you see your dentist, oral surgeon, or specialist to definitively treat an oral infection (tooth related or not) as early as possible.  The dental surgery itself will also not affect your previously applied lip filler.  Allow a period of 2-3 weeks after major dental work before getting additional lip or facial fillers, since swelling can linger for this amount of time.  You will achieve more precise results!  

Hi! The infection on your teeth shouldn't and will not affect at all the filler you just got, don't worry!
Just remember to eat healthy and have a clean hygiene ;)

It should not affect the longevity of the hyaluronic acid filler....so relax!  You should be able to proceed with the dental work without fear of interference with your filler

Dental infection should not effect your filler dissolving any faster . Having said that, I highly recommend treating any Dental infections  prior to placing any fillers  around your mouth. All the best from Boston,  Dr. Onir

There is no historical evidence that distant infection will change dynamics of the filler metabolism. However, in general, any infectious process evoke a hyper metabolic state so saying infection  has no effect has no solid grounds. Make sure you are well hydrated. Good luck!

Pericoronitis usually affects the back molars.  If the inflammation is not near the lips, it should not affect the lip filler.Best of luck.Dr T

If there is no infection present in the area where the filler is present, the filler will not dissolve any quicker. Good luck for New York City
