I've had temporary fillers put in my forehead that I've been told lasts about 6 months to a year. It's been about 12 days now and I've been feeling sick since then.

Fillers do not cause sickness and is highly un-related, I suggest you see your medical provider to further assist with this issue

Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

This is not a common side effect of fillers, so I would follow up with your treating provider to review potential side effects of the specific filler you had injected.

Paul S. Nassif, MD · Answer

It is highly unlikely that any sickness you are experiencing is a result of your treatment with filler, and may be a coincidence. I would recommend following up with your physician and expressing your concerns to him or her. I hope this helps, and best of luck.

Fillers do not cause illness. They are most likely unrelated and it is probably best for you to see your medical doctor for analysis.
