Will metronidazole/flagyl effect my juvederm lip injections in any way?

Question

I'm concerned that my antibiotics could interfere with the outcome of my lip injections? I've never had juvederm lip fillers before or any type of filler actually & I have been on this antibiotic once before with zero bad reactions. I'm suppose to start my antibiotics the same day I am scheduled for my first full vial of juvederm, I just was wondering if there would be any possibility for a negative reaction to occur? Thanks in advance

No, taking antibiotics shouldn't negatively impact your results or duration of effects with fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Antibiotics should not interfere with you lip injections. Always make sure you give your medical history which includes all medications to your doctor before beginning any procedures just to be safe.

The use of antibiotics during filler injections is usually OK unless the infection that the antibiotics are treating are serious one or located close to the injection site. I would definitely review your concerns with the doctor doing the treatments.Please make sure that you see an experienced doctor for a thorough consultation and assessment prior to undergoing any treatments.Best regards and I hope this helps, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Thank you for your question.  Lip fillers will not be compromised with your antibiotics.  I would certainly recommend that you disclose this medication to your board certified provider prior to injection, however, there will be no side effects to the injections.  I hope this information helps you and best of luck!

Hi, Thank you for your post. Antibiotics should not interfere with the outcome of your fillers. I would set up a consultation with your plastic surgeon to review any questions and concerns that you might have.
