Lip injections have become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments, loved for their ability to enhance volume, symmetry, and overall lip appearance. But if you’re pregnant—or planning to be—you may be wondering: can you get lip injections while pregnant? It’s an important question, and at Time4UMedspa, we believe in providing clear, informed answers to help you make the best decisions for your health and beauty.
The Short Answer: It’s Not Recommended
While lip fillers, such as those made with hyaluronic acid (like Juvederm and Restylane), are generally considered safe for non-pregnant individuals, they have not been tested on pregnant women. Because there is limited research on how these products might affect a developing baby, most medical professionals and aesthetic clinics—including Time4UMedspa—strongly advise against getting lip injections during pregnancy.
Why the Caution?
- Lack of Research:
Ethical guidelines prevent clinical studies on pregnant women for cosmetic procedures, meaning there’s no conclusive evidence to prove safety or risk. Without reliable data, it’s always better to err on the side of caution. - Potential Immune Response:
Pregnancy changes your immune system, which could increase the likelihood of unusual reactions or complications. Swelling and bruising, already common side effects, could be amplified during pregnancy. - No Medical Necessity:
Since lip injections are a cosmetic—rather than medical—procedure, most professionals agree it’s best to postpone until after your baby is born and your body has stabilized.
At Time4UMedspa, your health and well-being always come first. We work closely with you to plan safe, effective treatments that align with your current life stage and future beauty goals.
What About Breastfeeding?
Once your baby is born, you might be eager to get back to your self-care routine. While lip injections during breastfeeding are still considered a gray area, there is slightly more flexibility. Some experts believe that because hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body, the risk is minimal. Still, at Time4UMedspa, we recommend speaking with your doctor and booking a consultation with one of our certified injectors to fully understand your options.
