People with autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or scleroderma, may have an increased risk of complications from lip fillers.
Their immune systems are already overactive and may react negatively to the filler material, leading to inflammation, scarring, or other adverse effects.

Bleeding Disorders

Individuals with bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia or von Willebrand disease, should avoid lip fillers.
These conditions impair the blood’s ability to clot, increasing the risk of excessive bleeding during and after the procedure.

Skin Infections

Individuals with certain medical conditions may be at increased risk for complications from lip fillers. Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, can affect the immune system’s ability to heal properly, potentially leading to inflammation or rejection of the filler material.

Who Shouldn't Get Lip Fillers?

Skin infections, including active acne or herpes simplex virus (HSV) outbreaks, should also be addressed before considering lip fillers. The injection site could become infected or exacerbate existing skin conditions.

It’s crucial for potential patients to discuss their medical history in detail with a qualified and experienced injector. This allows the injector to assess individual risks and determine if lip fillers are safe and suitable.
