MeMySelf, There is no reason you cannot fly after having fillers and/or Botox Cosmetic. The only issue is that you will not be able to follow-up with your doctor if you have any questions or issues.
One should wait two working days so that if there is an adjustment with fillers it might be made. The altitude of the flight could affect the swelling potential in the first couple of days. Botox may take more than two weeks to show its full effect, so you may need to return in 3 – 4 weeks for an adjustment.
There are almost no real limitations following filler treatment with all types of product. Patients are told to avoid very animated facial expressions for a few hours until the filler settles. They are also advised not to exercise or bend down that day, as it may promote bruising from the treatment. Avoiding aspirin containing products is also suggested for the same reason.
In terms of flying, if you travel within 24 hours from the time of injection, the pressure changes may cause a little swelling or discomfort if any small pockets of air are present from the injection. It also may promote bruising due to the same reason. These concerns, in and of themselves ,do not prevent patients from flying on the same day, as the consequences are temporary in nature.
If you wait at least 2-3 days afterwards, then you should have no problem at all.
