Restylane Lip Augmentation

Taking an international flight 5 days after restylane treatment should not be a problem. We have many out of town patients who come to Beverly Hills for their treatments. I like to show my patients the progression of their lip augmentation DURING the process so that they can see and tell me what they want.

Restylane - 1 mL in the lips: okay to travel?

That sounds like the right amount of Restylane for an initial treatment and, in fact, that's usually about the most I'd want to put in the lips at any one time (you can always do more at a later time). You can reasonably expect some swelling and bruising - that's the case for any injection, but certainly for an injection in the lips. It's fine to travel 5-7 days after the procedure, but you may still have some lingering effects (swelling, bruising) from the injections... more

Restylane Lip Enhancement

Hi Amanda. In general, travelling 5 days after restylane treatment should not present a problem. Bruising and swelling should be resolved by then. Any persistent bruising can be covered with makeup. Be aware that when a treatment is performed for the first time, there will be a greater degree of uncertainty on your part. Consider that being distant from your doctor may limit your ability to be examined by and/or seek advice from your doctor should any questions arise. Always check with... more

Traveling after restylane

I do a very conservative fill and then let the patient decide more and exactly where. It alway supprise me that we don't get more swelling but, you should be ok to travel.

Restylane in lips and brusing expectations

Restylane may result in bruising and swelling after injection. It may last 5-7 days and is often most pronounced in the lips. One ml syringe is usually a good starting point for injection in lips.

Are Traveling Restrictions Necessary with Restylane Treatments?

As the panel members stated, traveling several days after treatment should not be a concern. It's probably more important to plan ahead for the special occasion of a vacation or event so that any unexpected bruising or swelling may have time to resolve. Also, the 2 week mark after treatment is the ideal time to appreciate the full effects of the treatment. Regarding amount of product to be used in the treatment plan, only you and your practitioner can come to the best... more

Flying 5 days after Restylane

Greetings~ No worries about flying 5 days after your treatment. Generally, swelling after treatment resolves in 2-3 days and if you have any concerns in the few days following treatment you'll still be around to have them addressed by the provider that did your injections. It's difficult, if not impossible, to say what amount of filler (Restylane) would be needed to give you the results you desire. 1cc may be perfect...it may be far too much...or it may be... more

OK to travel after Restylane for lip augmentation

We have patients that travel from all over the world for fillers like Restylane in the lips and Perlane or Radiesse to the cheeks and jaw line that leave the same day. IMHO, you'll be fine 5 days after Restylane to the lips. Will 1 cc, of Restylane, be enough to augment your lips? Don't know, it'll depend on how full they are now and how full you'd like them to be.

Restylane and travel

You can travel after your facial filler. The only limitation would be the day of or within 48 hrs. Usually I tell people there will be a erythema right after the injection. It is cleared by the next day. Ice that night , no makeup . Keep your face clean, and by the next day you should be ready to get out and about. Any lumpy bumpy feelings can be massaged but clear that with the injector. Also no drinking through a straw the first 48hrs. That suction affect can displace the filler .... more

Traveling after Restylane

In general, the only concern is the issue of swelling and bruising after the treatment. The degree of bruising can be affected by your medications so make sure you avoid things that promote bleeding such as aspirin, ibuprofen, various vitamins and nutritional supplements, etc. Swelling can sometimes be more of an issue when treating the lips than other areas but I think you should be fine with only 1cc which is a good idea anyway if this is the first time you are having your lips done. As a... more

Traveling after Restylane injection is Safe.

Traveling/flying five days after your 1 ml Restylane injection should be completely safe. When larger amounts of fillers are used, I generally recommended to patients not to travel/fly for 24 to 48 hours after the injection, to minimize discomfort due to possible bleeding or inflammation.

Restylane lip augmentation

Hyaluronic acid based fillers, and Restylane being one of them, are number one choice for lip augmentation. If this is your first time, I would advise to be more conservative and use no more than 1ml. You could always add more later if you elect to do so; however, if you overcorrect then you are married to these lips for about 10-12 months. Flying after filler treatment is not a problem. There is a small chance you may have residual bruising and swelling, but these can always be camouflaged... more

No Restrictions After Restylane Injections

Restylane or Juvederm are the best options for correcting an aging lip. They are used to replace lost volume, define the vermilion borders and create a more youthful curl, elevate and lift the corners of the mouth, and correct vertical wrinkle lines. They can restore the natural contour of the upper and lower lip and enhance the cupid’s bow area. Lifting the corners of the mouth gives a hint of a smile and reduces the “sad or angry look” when they are down turned. Flying... more

No problem traveling.

Dear Amandab We have many patients who fly into Los Angeles for service and either leave the same or the next day. Travel is just not a problem. A few facts (and opinions) regarding lip edge treatment. There are two basic styles of lip edge treatment: Executive lips and Adult Entertainment lips. One must not confuse one lip style for another. Only get Adult Entertainment lips if you are in that business, and even then think twice. The lower lip... more

Traveling after restylane.

As fillers go, restylane is a good gateway. safe effective and potentially reversible. generally bruising is minimal and traveling should be no problem. even if you bruise it goes away fairly quickly. congratulations, I think you'll love it and1cc is all you should start with until you see what it can do. good luck.
