Playing Contact Sports after receiving dermal filler treatment. Any suggestions?

simbatheprinceMay 14, 2015
Hi, I am a 24 year old male looking to undergo a dermal filler treatment for my under eyes / tear troughs, from what ive found it is advised not to rub/massage the area for a few days after treatment. After this time is there any risk of contact sports such as Rugby or Wrestling (or even Boxing) moving the dermal filler to a different position of my face or distorting it?

Everyone's facial anatomy is different and beautiful in it's own special way. If you have volume loss, fillers can definitely help. Please see a specialist to evaluate your concerns in person.

I suggest you see a facial contouring expert for fillers, go to someone who uses cannulas for more precise placement and less pain/swelling.  Best, Dr. Emer.
