Flying After Botox or Restylane?

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.

Yes, you can fly immediately after injections. There is no downtime. However, it is always best to stay with one physician.

There is no reason to avoid air travel after Botox cosmetic injections.  After Restylane, some swelling may occur that might worsen with a flight.  In any case you may want to stay longer in the city where you were treated for a touchup if needed.

Flying is not an issue after injection procedures.  The issue may be with bruising or swelling, though. If you are on vacation or business for this trip, you may want to consider swelling or bruising issues with Restylane before undertaking the procedure.

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.

As previously stated, there is no real medical reason not to fly the next day following injection of any fillers or Botox. However, it does make sense to have these procedures performed somewhere close to you as you will need to undergo these procedures several times a year. This way your physician will be able to understand what seems to work for you and how you prefer your results to be. Ultimately, it makes better sense.

Unless you will be back to Florida every 3-5 months, why establish a relationship with a physician when you can do that at home? It would be best for you to locate a local physician with whom you can become acquainted so that you can relate your likes and dislikes to fine tune your results over time.
Injectors have different styles and unless you plan on doing this only one time, I suggest you find a physician/injector closer to home.
I realize that financial reasons (exchange rates, etc) may be one reason but I can't speak to those.
As others have mentioned, your treating physician may work with you for the touch ups but once you return to your home, it would be more diffiucult to find another injector who would be willing to take on another's results.

Facial fillers are non-invasive procedures associated with minimal immediate risk of bleeding, infection, or bruising. The most important complication profile is based on long term assymetry, deformity including nodules or lumps, and persistent edema.
Although many patients choose to travel immediately after the procedure, it is advisable to maintain a close relationship with your physician in order to avoid unecessary and potentially avoidable complications.

No problem in flying after fillers and Botox, unless you'd like to stick around for a few days so that you can return to your physician if you need a touch up.  Be well.

I see alot of out of town clients for fillers and there is really no contraindication to flying following treatment.  The only caveat is that I generally like to see my patients a week or so after their treatment.  As such, I make sure they have follow-up when they return to town.
