Vigorous exercise after Restylane?

Question

I'm getting Restylne w/ Lidocaine in my lips, nasolabial folds and chin on monday.. Ive done this before and had mild swelling. My question is can I go to my hot yoga class on wed without consequence? Hot yoga is much more demanding, you sustain elevated heart rates for much of the class. I'm curious what the professional consensus is before I hear what my Dr believes.

I suggest waiting a day or two after filler injections to ensure that you do not excessively swell or cause any change to the fillers.  I use cannulas to limit complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for the question. It would be best not to do such vigorous exercising for a few days following the injection of fillers. If you plan on doing a vigorous routine, you might benefit from applying cold compresses to your lips. Good luck.

Hi Cartoon, I typically recommend taking 24-48 hours off from strenuous exercise after having filler injected. I would follow the recommendations of your injector.
