Can I get lip fillers with colitis?

Question

Hi I’ve wanted lip fillers for years now and when I went to get them I was advised that because I have colitis I had it for 20 years (I’m now39) and not had a bad flare up for at least 8 years I take a small dose of asacol mezalasine daily as a precautionary measure please cou;d you give some advise as after years of plucking up the courage I fell deflated.. I contacted my consultant who could not advise me on this as she knows nothing about fillers

Hi. Thank you for your question. As long as your Colitis is under control with no active flare ups, you can undergo filler treatment with likely no problem at all.

As long as you don't have any active issues relating to your Colitis there should be no problem doing the lips.  I do caution however about doing large amounts of HA filler in particular Volbella, Vollure, and Voluma at one time (>3 syringes) since there has been more reports of granulomas which I believe is related to how these fillers are made and how it reacts to an immune system that has gone awry.

Yes, you can have fillers with a history of colitis. These fillers are good for lip augmentation. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello and thank you for your question.  Yes, although you have a history of colitis, it is safe for you to be treated with fillers (such as Juvederm, Restylane or Belotero).  Be sure to seek an experienced injector who specializes in facial aesthetics for best results.  Good luck.

Colitis is an autoimmune condition . As long as you are stable there is no reason that you cannot have filler . I have treated patient with juvederm who have colitis ( stable) and there hasn't been any issue.I would try again. Good luck
