Can I receive a dermal filler injection if I am on medication?

Steve Fallek (Plastic Surgeon and Medical Director, Face Focus Medical Spa) gives expert video advice on: How many different types of dermal fillers are available?; How do I find a qualified medical spa that performs dermal filler treatments?; Can I wear makeup after receiving any dermal filler treatment? and more...

The only medications that I, as an injector, and as a plastic surgeon are concerned about with a dermal filler are any of the anti-coagulants such as aspirin, coumadin, any blood thinner. The other area where I always ask my patients is whether or not they are taking herbal medications because unknown to patients many times these herbs do have blood thinning properties. which could affect the dermal filler injection
