Question

I have a lot of broken blood vessels on my top lip I thinking resulting from dry chapped lips in the past. See photo. Can I still get lip fillers?

SarahJane. I understand your concerns, however Lip Augmentation can certainly be performed, but  you may experience a bit more bruising than usual for a day or two.  Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist and explain your concerns. Good luck.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

You could have lip fillers done with broken blood vessels on lips.  If the broken blood vessels bother you, they could likely be improved with a laser treatment.

Lawrence Janowski, MD · Answer

Most likely, those angiomas could be spot treated with IPL.  Regardless, lip filler would be safe.  I would use a cannula technique to avoid bruising.

Yes, you can most definitely still have lip injections despite having broken blood vessels on your lips. If they bother you, look into having a consultation with a medical office that has the Cutera Excel V. I have worked with it In the past and have successfully treated vessels on the lips. Good luck to you!

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

I don't think fillers will help with the redness described. You need to have laser treatment of the vessels - either with an Excel V laser or VBeam. I might take more than one and they might come back. These are telangiectasias I believe.

Yes you can. A bruise can happen, however the use of microcannula techniques will reduce the occurrence. Now in this area, the placement of filler is BELOW the level of your blood vessels. If superficial placement is needed to enhance the border, a specialist will use a laser to remove the blood vessels. Easy to achieve. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
