Is it safe to have under eye filler dissolved days prior to a Brazilian butt lift?

Question

I have under eye filler I need to dissolve. If I have abdominal lipo with possible fat transfer to my hips, is it safe to use Hyaluronidase a few days before surgery? Is there a recommended time between dissolving filler and surgery? Also, when is it safe to add new filler to your face after this surgery? Should I wait for a specific amount of time to dissolve before/inject to face after.

Hello Marilyn Rose,
You may have eye filler dissolved anytime before or after surgery.  It will allow you to recover from any bruising or swelling concurrently with your surgical recovery.  Once any swelling and/or bruising has resolved around your eyes, you may have filler injections.  I would wait at least two weeks after surgery or dental work to have more filler.  A great 100% natural filler to consider in patients who have had problems with hyaluronic acid fillers around their eyes is EZ Gel.  Feel free to contact our office to schedule a virtual or in person consultation regarding this great alternative for eye, lip, and facial rhytid filling.  Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

There isn’t a strict rule, but it’s typically recommended to allow some time between filler dissolution and surgical procedures to minimize potential interactions or complications. A few days should be ok. The timing for adding new filler post-surgery depends on the extent of the surgery and your individual healing process. Generally, it’s advisable to wait until you’ve sufficiently recovered from the surgery before considering additional facial injections. Your surgeon can provide specific recommendations based on your recovery progress.

Best of luck !
