Getting all 4 Wisdom Teeth taken out but getting lip and cheek filler 5 days beforehand. Will this effect my filler?

Question

Thank you for sharing your interesting question. There is probably no harm in having fillers injected around the mouth and cheek prior to your dental surgery; however, it would be prudent not to have these procedures performed in such close proximity just to be cautious. I hope this helps.Good luck,

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can have filler injections a week before having your dental surgery. However, I would recommend waiting at least 2 weeks between treatments to ensure all swelling resolves and reduce your risk of infection. It is better to be cautious. I hope this helps.

This would depend on your injector. Personally I would not perform filler given the extent of 4 wisdom teeth and the proximity (cheek), I would wait 2 weeks - firstly for the swelling to go down, secondly to reduce the chances of infection. All the best, Dr Davin Lim (conservative dermatologist, Brisbane. Australia)
