Are lip injections safe while pregnant?

Question

I have gotten lip injections for years and recently found out I am pregnant and want to make sure it’s safe before I go again. Half a cc. Currently 9 weeks.

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

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Falling into the “better safe than sorry” scenario, pregnant women should not be injected.  Hope this helps.

Vibha Gambhir, MD · Answer

Hi this is a very common question patients ask. Unfortunately, you should not have any type of injections including Botox and Fillers while pregnant or during breast feeding. There are no studies on the effects of injectables on pregnancy and since this is an elective treatment it is best to skip treatments during that time. Hope this information answers your question!

Thank  you for your question. It would not be recommended to receive fillers while you are pregnant. Unfortunately, there is no actual study of the possible outcomes but it would be advised to avoid this for the time being. Best of luck!

Val Lambros, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

they are probably safe.The incidence of birth defects  is about 3% and the incidence of misacarriage is about 20%. If one of those things happen one doesn’t know if it was from a lip filler or something else. I wouldn’t inject a pregnant woman for liability reasons.
