I am 20 years old and have had vitiligo for approximately 3 years. In the past 3 years, it had not spread beyond my lips. I have had alopecia areata, another autoimmune since I was 2 years old. I am wondering if lip injections would trigger/cause the vitiligo to spread? Would you recommend waiting longer to be more sure?

Thank you for your question. It can take upwards of two weeks for swelling following injections to completely subside. Give it a little more time to see your final result. Follow up with your injector to address your concern. Good luck!
Hi Ashley, As far as I know, there is no contraindication for lip filler after breast surgery. However, I would contact your surgeon just to make sure prior to any filler. It is best to setup a consultation with an experienced injector. Good luck!
I would advise waiting until after your pregnancy to obtain a lip augmentation with fillers.
Technique is key when it comes to lip injections, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
