Can I get lip injections if I have a port-wine stain birthmark on and on the inside of my lip?

Question

Will this impact the growth of the birthmark or have any effect on it? Also, will this have an effect on the pulsed dye laser treatment?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

lip fillers will not be effected by pulsed dye laser.  I would use daily hydration and plumping (see emeragecosmetics lip essentials kit).  everyone can do a little filler when done well really gives nice hydration and plumping.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Glorious195763,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I think you’ll find different providers have different levels of comfort with this. If there’s any venous malformation that’s deep in your lip you could risk intravenous injection of the filler which could be dangerous.

If it’s a true port wine stain that superficial and the provider stays deep with the filler then you would most likely be OK.

In the end it doesn’t really matter but I think the only thing that really matters is what your provider thinks. If you haven’t had the treatment then I suggest consulting with a few providers in your area. In your case I suggest sticking to providers who have extensive medical training especially in plastic surgery or facial plastic surgery.

Going to a nurse who runs a med spa may not be the best choice in regards to having an understanding of vascular malformation’s.

Best,
