Is it safe to get lip fillers if I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?

Question

Is it safe to get lip fillers if you have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome? What are the risks and side effects?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, you should be able to have fillers. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical lip. Nova threads can be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. Technique will be important here, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes, treated many EDS patients - all safe. Now, depending on the type of EDS subtype, facial rejuvenation can be very tricky as face lifts, laser resurfacing and even thread lifts don't last as long due to your collagen defect, see some one who is a specialist and they can guide as as to what is the best method for skin rejuvenation in YOUR EDS type. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia
