Can using snorkeling masks/scuba diving after fillers cause bad effects?

Question

Im fine to wait few weeks np. My wedding is in 4 months and honeymoon in 5 months (where I'll be scuba diving and snorkeling )and I live in Hawaii where I often snorkel. Worried that the mask will cause unwanted deformity or permanent indentations? My appt is in 3 days and now I'm having second thoughts really scared. Please advise

I would recommend waiting 2 weeks after your fillers before wearing a snorkeling or scuba diving mask.  In my opinion, there should not be any adverse effects on your fillers after this time.

Hi @hapagirl82! First off, congrats on your wedding! You should be fine to wear your scuba diving and snorkeling mask two weeks after your treatment without any issues.  Best of luck to you!

This should not be an issue or cause for concern. Speak to your physician to clear any doubts. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi, Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Fillers around the eyes can potentially be shifted with direct pressure. Between swim goggles which tightly wrap around the eyes versus the wider scuba/snorkeling gogglew which go more on the forehead and under the nose compressing the mid-cheek shouldn't cause any shifting of the filler around the eyes. Since your injector has a plan to where exactly they plan to inject, you inform your injector of your concerns to determine if it is better to wait until after the honeymoon or try to do it before the wedding. There shouldn't be any risk of permanent indentations since the filler can be dissolved away if needed, to return the face back to its original hollowing. Hope this answer provided some value. Good Luck. Best, Dr. Yang

You should be fine to wear your snorkel/scuba mask with no issues two weeks after your treatment.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your injector.  Enjoy your treatment!
