I have some scar tissue forming from a dog bite. Can I still get lip fillers? (photos)

Before you get fillers, I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Any scarring can be improved with lasers, fillers, subcision and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Allow all swelling and scarring to settle down, at least two or three months before you consider fillers for Lip Augmentation. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to verify my recommendation. Good luck.

Once you are fully healed from the bite you can most likely get filler. I’d wait 6-12 months after injury. Be sure you are seeing an experienced injector as your anatomy will be altered due to the trauma of the dog bite. Best of luck!
