Is it safe to get dermal fillers with a low BMI?

Hello,

I'm Dr. Anna Chacon, a board-certified dermatologist, and I appreciate your question regarding the safety of dermal fillers with a low BMI.

From a medical standpoint, having a low BMI in itself does not typically contraindicate the use of dermal fillers. The safety and effectiveness of dermal fillers depend more on your overall health, the specific areas being treated, and the expertise of the injector. Since you mentioned that you are physically healthy otherwise, you would likely be a good candidate for dermal fillers.

However, it's essential to have a thorough consultation with a qualified and experienced injector. They can assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the appropriate type and amount of filler for you. It's also an opportunity to address any specific concerns related to your low BMI and ensure that the treatment plan aligns with your health and aesthetic needs.

If you have any underlying health conditions or are on any medications, be sure to discuss these with your healthcare provider during the consultation.

Best regards,

If you are generally healthy but have a low BMI you are still a candidate for fillers. The treatment is done in the office with final results seen after two weeks. See an experienced injector for treatment.
