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.
