Lip filler and teeth whitening. Will the mouth retractor manipulate and move the filler?

Question

I’m getting lip filler 7 days before getting my teeth whitened professionally, so they will be using the mouth retractor to move my lips out of the way. Will this manipulate and move the filler?

Anteneh Roba, MD · Answer

There should be no problem getting your teeth whitened after lip filler injections . The mouth retractor should not affect the position of the fillers.

Thank you for your question, dermal      fillers usually set from 24-48 hrs. However, each provider has different      precautions so it’s best you contact your surgeon. Best of luck!

Thankyou for your question. Personally in my practice I do not want any irritation to the filler for at least 2 weeks. I  know I am conservative but would would post pone the teeth whitening for another week. Hope this helps.

No, the teeth whitening treatment should not have any impact on your lip filler results. Good luck with both treatments.

At 7 days, you should be fine. Typically, most fillers used in lips takes about 24-48 hours to "set". Talk with your injector.
