I have a UTI and am on antibiotics scheduled to get Bellafil tomorrow. Is there in increased risk of a bacterial infection?

I do not see a problem with your Bellafil injections during a UTI and on antibiotics. It should have no bearing at all. Good luck

I recommend following up with your Doctor, but it should be fine to get Bellafill while being treated for a UTI. It will take several months for final results with Bellafill. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

In my opinion, it should be fine to have a Bellafill treatment while taking antibiotics for a UTI.  There should not be an increased risk of an infection from the Bellafill treatment while you are on the antibiotic.  

As long as you are in good health generally and do not have a fever, there should be no problem with proceeding with your injection.  For a simple bladder infection, some doctors may even treat for 1 or 3 days to render the urine sterile, which means the germs are killed off and no bacteria grows.  You don't mention how many days of treatment you have had or how many have been prescribed but chances are good you should have no problem.

Absolutely I would postpone the Bellafill injections until you have completed your antibiotics. The procedure is completely elective and you must be in optimal health to undergo any elective procedures. You are at an increased risk of infection because sometimes the bacteria gets into the blood stream. The bacteria can then be trapped in the Bellafill and cause a biofilm infection. These are exceptionally hard to treat in Bellafill clients.

Thank you for your question. As long as you are on antibiotics and have no fever or chills it should be fine to proceed with your Bellafill injections. I would recommend checking with your injecting physician to make sure it is okay with them.

There should not be any problems or increased risk of infection to receive Bellafill injections while on antibiotics as long as you are not exhibiting any signs/symptoms of infection at the time of your treatment.  You should notify your injectionist however and make sure he/she is aware and okay with this.
