Has any one with SLE had dermal fillers, if so was it ok?

Have had Botox & fillers quite a few times & all's been well :0)

Hi Sher78, did you find that the Botox helped any with headaches. I have a diagonal indent on forehead between eyes, now with headaches it seems to be getting worse and feel like I am squinting all the time. If Botox would help with headaches, and fix cavern between eyes, that would be great.

Chapter, it stops about 50 - 70% of headaches in my case. I used 2 work in a hospital & funnily enough it was an aesthetic nurse that recommended I have it after talking about my headaches. I obviously went 2 c my Rheumatologist 2 check if it was safe & he gave me the ok. Been having it done 4 about 4 years now. I tend 2 have it done every 8 months if I can afford it. Just a pity we can't get it on script ;0) As 4 the fillers, that's pure vanity ;0)

Thank you Sher78 & Coppernob, thats helpful, I had botox about 3 weeks ago and that was fine, I was just a little aprehensive about the fillers, but I am going to go ahead this week!!!

Mine are pure vanity also ! Although after reading Chapters question, I can also say my headaches have improved, so an added bonus!.

Glad 2 hear it's helped. Some Doctors look at me as if they don't believe me when I say Botox helps my headaches, u can almost hear them saying 'Yeah right, whatever love' lol!

Just watch the bruising ;0)

Me too, to both (though I don't have Lupus, but I do have APS and Sjogren's). No problems. Use arnica cream to reduce any bruising.
