Currently breastfeeding a 10 week old beautiful baby (my first child) - does or has anyone gotten lip fillers whilst breastfeeding? I’ve read online stating there is no scientific fact or proof that it can cause harm to the baby… I just want to know personal opinions and experiences.
Thanks girlies xx

All of the research I did showed there aren’t any studies that proves one way or another whether it’s safe or not.
I don’t get lip fillers anymore but asked my injector about Dysport while breastfeeding and she flat out won’t do it. I also spoke to the lady that used to do my lips for a second opinion - she said that although there is no evidence stating it’s harmful to the baby, it’s really dependent on the injector whether or not they want to do it. She will do it but would require me to sign a waiver. Most places get you to sign a waiver whether you’re breastfeeding or not anyway so that wasn’t a big deal for me.
I decided to just wait it out but if you do decide to go for it, I don’t see any issues.
Lip fillers are usually mainly made of hyaluronic acid which is naturally found in the body anyway.
Botox and Dysport will be the ones I’d be most concerned about but as you’ve stated there’s no scientific proof it’s bad for baby anyway.
I guess it’s all just personal preference. 🤷🏻♀️
