Is it ok to get cheek, marionette and jaw fillers and then use goggles to swim?

Question

How much time do I need to wait and could the goggles move the cheek fillers ? How long should I wait to use googles?

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

I had one patient who felt their filler shifted a little to the side when they scuba dived the day after filler was injected in their high cheeks. Granted their is more pressure on the skin under the water and a scuba mask will push more forcefully on the skin than swimming goggles but it might be prudent not to have any excess constant pressure directly on the area injected with a filler such as Juvederm, for 1 -2 days after the filler is injected.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs.

Hi @Seeshells! I would recommend waiting at least 24 hours after filler injections to the face before using swim goggles. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

I would recommend waiting at least 24 hours after filler injections to the face before using swim goggles.  The physician treating you may feel differently though, so I would check your particular doctor and follow their instructions.
