Yes but caution: Fillers over any facial implant such as chin, cheek, jaw, forehead, nose, lips, facial folds etc are all at slight risk for infection when nearby the treatment area. It is important to inform your injector if this. A competent injector will always use aseptic technique and usually use prophylactic antibiotics if in the same area. This also applies to patients with hardware from other procedures.

Risk of infection: If you plan to have injections near your implant, there is a risk of infection.
