Is it OK to have filler 6 weeks after sepsis shock ?

husab21Feb 10, 2021
6 weeks ago I had sepsis from a kidney stone I was in hospital , came out and caught Covid. I am doing well the infection is gone now but still have a stem and the stone to be remove at the end of the month . But I booked an appointment to have filler before my illness , this appointment is in 2 weeks. I am feeling fine and would love to have filler but would it be safe to have a syringe before my op ? If not how long do I need to wait ?

Presently due to lack of evidence proving safety, we do not recommend fillers or hyaluronidase treatments while patients are pregnant or breastfeeding. I encourage you to speak with your injector about your concerns.

I would inject hyaluronidase dissolver in 2 separate sessions about 2 weeks apart to dissolve the residual HA filler or granulomoa. Expect fees in the $500/session.
