Lip Filler prior to FET IVF Cycle

Question

I had lip filler done in Oct ‘22. I am now about to start Lupron in preparation for an FET in 2-3 months. I’d like to get another half syringe of filler, but I’m wondering if I’m too close to my IVF window? I’ve done IVF in the past, I have two kids as a result. I tend to overthink things and I’m trying to just live normally this cycle. As much as I can anyway! Thanks in advance :)

If you're planning to undergo an FET (frozen embryo transfer) in the next few months and are considering getting lip filler, it's important to consult with your dermatologist and fertility specialist before proceeding with the treatment.
While there is no direct link between lip filler and fertility treatments such as IVF, it's important to be mindful of any potential risks or complications. Certain medications used during fertility treatments, such as Lupron, may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising during the lip filler injection process. Additionally, any potential swelling or discomfort from the lip filler may interfere with your IVF process and cause unnecessary stress.
It's best to wait until after your IVF cycle is complete before getting any additional lip filler. This will ensure that your body is in the best possible condition for the fertility treatment and minimize any potential risks or complications.
It's important to prioritize your health and well-being during this process. Don't hesitate to consult with your medical professionals if you have any concerns or questions about your treatment or its potential impact on your fertility treatment. They will be able to assess your individual case and provide you with personalized advice on the best course of action.

Having fillers and IVF are unrelated to each other and should not be an issue.
If you have any concerns then I suggest directing your questions to your OB/GYN(infertility provider)
I don’t think having IVF would be an issue from a plastic surgery perspective.
