How soon after a liquid facelift can I work out?

Question

Hi, I am wondering how long one should wait after a liquid facelift to workout-Pretty intense cross fit type workout. Thank you!

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your liquid facelift.  Both Botox and dermal fillers are stable within a few hours of injection so I tell my patients to avoid vigorous activity the day of the injections but that they can return to their normal activities the next day.  Vigorous exercise on the same day would cause your injection sites to swell, turn red, and appear irritated.  It can also increase the risk of bruising developing.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. I recommend you wait at least 24-48 hours before any vigorous workouts after having a liquid facelift. Be well!

Hello, Thank you for your question. It is advised to refrain from exercise for 24 hours after injections. It can increase bruising, swelling, and possibly move some fillers around. If you feel you are bruised or swollen you should avoid exercise until these side effects subside. Good luck!

Thank you for this important question. Working out and liquid facelift are ideal mix for someone who is healthy and wishes to look young! Congratulations. I suggest to may patients 48 to 72 hours of relaxation after a liquid facelift before vigorous. I recommend this to reduce the risks of increased bruising and swelling. 
Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

A Liquid Facelift is a great way to rejuvenate the facial appearance in patients who are opposed to surgery or who require minimal down time.  Following the injections, patients typically experience minimal if any bruising, and they can return to their regular activities the same day as the procedure.  With regard to exercise it is advised to wait 24 hours to minimize the potential of bruising.

Thank you for your question in regards to a liquid face lift. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activities and intense workouts for 24 hours after injections. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Filler placement should not shift unless aggressively massaged.  Exercise where your head is below the level of your heart will increase swelling and bruising.

The amount of time to refrain from working out after a liquid facelift will vary by provider.  Generally you will want to wait a day or two in order to allow the product to begin settling and to keep swelling from increasing.  Your injector will let you know what is recommended for you.

Andrei Metelitsa, MD, FRCPC, FAAD · Answer

I treat many athletes, including professional bodybuilders who are unable to take any time off from their workout regimen. I suggest that they wait about 1 day before returning to their normal level of activity. If they don't want to take any days off, they do their workout in the morning before seeing me, we then proceed with their injectables and they return to their normal level of activity the following day.

Michele Zormeier, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. 
Recommendations for working out after your liquid facelift would be 24 hours. This will give adequate time for recovery.  Glad working out is important to you. 
Please follow up with your board certified injector one month after your procedure to fully evaluate results.
