Is it ok to have Restylane or Juvederm while on penicillin?

Question

So I only use penicillin as a prevention from when I had a chin implant removed. I have not had an infection or any other issues but only use it to prevent a possible infection. But is it safe to have fillers while im on penicillin as long as I dont really have an infection? Can the penicillin and juvederm or restylane get an reaction to each other?

Bhupesh Vasisht, MD · Answer

Penicillin is not known to interfere or react with injectable fillers like Restylane or Juvéderm. So long as you do not have any active infections in the area, receiving injectable treatments should not cause any adverse side effects.Be sure to discuss your penicillin use with a board-certified injector before moving forward withinjectable filler treatments. Hope this helps!

There is no issue with concurrently being on penicillin or other antibiotics and getting filler injections with a hyaluronic acid based filler like restylane or juvederm.

Kapil Saigal, MD, FACS · Answer

It should be safe to have hyaluronic acid filler injections while on antibiotics such as penicillin, as there is no contraindication.  However, if you are having a viral infectionwith ulcers or blisters near the lips, mouth or nose, then that should be treated and resolvedprior to any HA filler injection to the area. best of luck to you.

There should be no problem treating with hyaluronic acid fillers while on Penicillin. As long as there is no active infection it should be perfectly safe.  However, I recommend to consult with your doctor before treating with Juvederm or Restylane.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Taking Penicillin or any other antibiotic should not have any effect on your hyaluronic acid fillers. However, if you have any type of active infection I would definitely recommend that you hold off on fillers until the infection is completely resolved.  Best, Dr. Green
