In my office we generally recommend waiting at least 24-48 hours after injections before you get on a long flight. This is to avoid undue swelling and bruising that seems to worsen in the pressurized cabin right after injections. You would naturally have some swelling and bruising anyway which could worsen under those circumstances..
Hi there!Thank you for your query. I would always recommend waiting 48 hours before flying to ensure you aren’t travelling in the unlikely event you encounter any immediate problems post treatment.Hope this helps!Best WishesDr. Rupert
Flying will not raise the risk of any filler-related complications. The biggest risk with these treatments is a small bruise. However, if you're planning to travel for business or pleasure you might want to re-schedule the treatment so that you're not sitting in business meetings or trying to enjoy your vacation with a facial bruise. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
Yes I don't think the change in pressures have made a big difference in my injection patients. Stay away from heavy lifting, Advil (Ibuprofen) and aspirin around the injection time as these will stimulate bleeding.
It shouldn't be a problem, but wouldn't suggest doing a treatment before a trip or vacation as there can be bruising and swelling.
Injections of fillers is a noninvasive procedure with no side-effects other than swelling and maybe some bruising. This has no effect on your ability to travel, via plane or other methods of transportation, nor will traveling have any effect on the results of your injections. So taking the plane right after juvederm injections isn't a problem.
There is no contraindication to flying after filler treatments. However, if there is an issue following the treatment, it's better if the injecting physician can examine it. Additionally, as there can be bruising and swelling after filler injections, it is wise not to have the treatment right before any important social events (ie a day before a wedding!).
You should be able to fly after minimally invasive filler injections such as Juvederm Injections. Good luck!
You can certainly have Juvederm before a flight, just remember you can bruise with Juvederm. I use Arnica to help with bruising, as well as concealers, but still if you bruise you will notice it. Remember to wear compression hose on a long flight to prevent blood clots!
There is no reason not to travel immediately following a Juvaderm treatment. Your greatest risk is bruising. If you don't need to look perfect and can afford a possible bruise, go ahead and get the treatment and travel as planned.
