Is it safe to get the COVID-19 VACCINE before or after injectable fillers?
“Is it safe to get the COVID-19 VACCINE before or after injectable filler?” We get asked this question on a daily basis, so we wanted to share Dr. Schulz’s guidance on this commonly-asked question:
.
“As a physician, I’ve always told my patients that stimulation of their immune system with things like vaccinations, viral illnesses like the cold or flu, or bacterial infections like a bladder infection, can trigger benign and temporary swelling in areas where patients have previously had filler injections. These reactions are harmless and are easily and quickly treated by an experienced physician. When this occurs, it is simply an immune phenomenon, not an allergic reaction.
.
Because the incidence of swelling has been rare (in addition to being benign) in COVID-19 vaccinated populations, there have been no recommendations made by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery to avoid filler injections in a patient planning to receive or already having received a COVID-19 vaccination.”
.
As with all vaccines, if you experience side effects you are concerned about, reach out to the appropriate medical professional for assistance.
