Are dermal fillers safe for someone with autonomic dysfunction (POTS)?

September 1, 2022
Asked By:Rayel in Portland, Oregon

I was recently diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). I often experience dizziness and headaches. I've been sick for about a year, but am working with a doctor now and am starting to feel a little better. I've been having fillers for a number of years as well with no issue, but I'm wondering if it's ok to continue following the diagnosis. Thanks!
