Is it okay to wear an N95 for long periods 4 days after fillers?

Question

I work an an ICU nurse in a Covid unit and wear an N95 for 48 hours a week. I would like to get under eye, cheek, and nasolabial filler but can only work in a 4 day break. Is 4 days long enough to allow the filler to set or should I postpone until I can arrange more time off?

Thank you for your questions and thank you for what you do. Four days is sufficient time to allow your filler to settle before you return to work and wear your mask. Make sure you are working with a very experienced, board-certified injector to ensure you achieve the best possible results.

Hi @Gorgeous793! Thank you for all you do! 4 days is plenty of time to allow your dermal filler to settle in. Best of luck to you!

Thank you for your question! We just suggest not wearing anything tight on the area for 2 days after you have received filler. If your mask isn't super tight then you should be fine wearing it after. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question.  Filler can take up to a week to "settle" but wearing a mask will not harm or distort your filler after 4 days.  Hope this helps , thank you for all you do!
