Will Juvederm fillers migrate from exercising 2 hours after injection?

Question

Hi, I was told by my doctor not to exercise strenuously for 24 hours after injections. However, I was running late for the subway and actually ended up sprinting for 2-3 minutes straight in order to make the train. I was wearing about a 10-pound backpack. This was 2 hours after being injected with Voluma. Is it possible the fillers migrated downward? What can I do in order to fix this? Should I massage the area and push the fillers upward? I'm very nervous about this! Any advice is appreciated!!

Hi, Thank you for your post. I generally recommend that my patients do not bend, lift or do any kind of exercise for 24 hours after injectables. The reason for this is mainly swelling and bruising but I would try to avoid any kind of strenuous activity for the next 24 hours after your visit. If you have any questions or concerns please contact your doctor.

Thanks for your question. Contact your provider immediately if you notice any migration of product.  However, based on what you have written, you should be ok.  Do not massage the area.  Your final result will take about 2 weeks, as swelling & bruising will subside.  Again, if you have any concerns, contact and communicate them with your provider.  Best wishes, Dr. Aldo :-)

Good Afternoon,It is very unlikely that your fillers will migrate from the workout you did. As others have said, we suggest avoiding exercise mainly to avoid bruising and swelling after the procedure.Have a nice day

Not likely that exercise immediately after filler will result in migration of product in my experience.Best

The main reason for the no strenuous exercise for 24 hours post injections is to help avoid bruising and swelling. You will probably be fine although if you look in the mirror and things seem off then see your injector. Do try and "move" the filler yourself. My guess is that are fine. Once set, filler doesn't migrate.
