I have a two-month-old son whom I both breastfeed and supplement with formula. I'm interested in getting lip fillers, and I'm wondering if I can take a week off from breastfeeding to allow the product to settle before resuming breastfeeding. Would this be enough time?
Dear, You should be a suitable candidate for dermal fillers, and I typically use Juvederm for lip sculpting. Lip injections focus on two main aspects: adding volume and shaping the lips. These involve injecting the filler into different areas and following specific patterns. I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon who can perform your lip injections. Most of my patients experience results lasting at least 6 months.
During pregnancy or while nursing, we typically do not recommend cosmetic procedures such as fillers. It's best to consult with your physician to discuss their recommendations for your specific situation.
Currently, it is advised that individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding avoid undergoing filler treatments. Due to a lack of sufficient studies demonstrating the safety of filler injections during pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is recommended to prioritize caution in such cases.
