Is it okay to put triple antibiotic ointment in my face after restylane injections?

Thanks for your question.  While there should be no need to put any kind of topical antibiotic on your face following Restylane injections, there should be no major reason you cannot use it.  We always caution people that if there is neomycin in the product one can become sensitized to it and then develop a rash at the sight of application.  Dermatologists always recommend that people use Polysporin as there is no neomycin in the product.

Using antibiotic ointment is not in the instructions that I give to my patients after filler injection.  Typically there is no open wound after filler injection and there should be no need to use an antibiotic ointment.  If you are having any problems after filler injection, you should contact your injector for specific advice.Best,Dr. Ort
