I'm a kickboxer will fillers move if I get hit in the face?

Question

I am considering fillers and Botox to deal with sagging around my jaw and to lessen my marionette lines. I'm a kickboxer and get hit in the face on occasion. Will hits to my face move the fillers out of place? Is there a time frame after the fillers are injected when it would be safe to fight?

Georges Kaado, MD · Answer

Everyone is different, but typically, fillers settle in about 2 weeks.  However, since you regularly receive facial trauma, I would advise you wait 4-6 weeks if at all possible.

Carolyn Jacob, MD · Answer

It hasn't been documented that hyaluronic acid fillers can move on impact, however you may want to consider a biostimulator, such as Sculptra instead. Sculptra helps to generate your own collagen after a series of 3-4 treatments. Be careful and wear head gear too!
