Can you get injected fillers at the age of 17 ?

Hi @cassiediamonds! This is a great question. You need to be at least 18 years of age to sign consent to treat.

I have treated patients very young with fillers for medical/cosmetic reasons.  You would need parental consent.  Also, you should do something that is not too long lasting in case of any complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

For consent to treat, you need to be 18 to sign. If you are younger, you would need parental consent. 

Although there is no major reason why you can't do a filler at age 17, studies are typically based on age 18 and older, and the face is still changing. Also, some physicians are uncomfortable treating a "minor", so best to just wait till age 18 for your treatment. Speak with your dermatologist to see if in fact you're a good candidate in the first place.

Thank you for your question. In order to get any medical treatment without parental consent you need to be at least 18 years old. If you feel that you need dermal fillers, I would discuss this with my parents. Then, if they agree, I would have your parent(s) make a consultation with a plastic surgeon and come with you to your appointment.

Why would you? The FDA studies were conducted in ages 18-65 and although that is what the label says, anyone can have any of these procedures done at any age, just so there is a sound rationale to do them. Why do you want fillers and where do you want them? What is the motivation? All of these things need to be considered -- and then someone skilled needs to be consulted. 

Yes you can get fillers, but you will need parental consent. I am reluctant to treat very young people for cosmetic purposes, but there have been more medical reasons I have done fillers on younger patients. Always with parental consent though. So you need to discuss this with your parent first, and have your parent with you when you see your doctor. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
