Is it true fillers in the summer aren't a good idea?

It makes no difference what time of year filler is injected. In Florida, it is summer most of the year.We do ask patients to avoid sun for a few days after the injection.

Fillers can be used year round and not affected by the seasons. My practice is in a warm area where people get fillers often.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I do recommend sun protection following fillers. This consists of avoiding significant sun exposure, wearing sunblock and a hat when out doors. Summertime weather is not a reason to avoid fillers. You just need to be more careful with regard to sun exposure to avoid hyperpigmentation of the treated area. You can discuss with your physician injector but now is as good a time as any to pursue injectable treatments. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

I've never heard this. In fact, summertime is probably the busiest time of year for cosmetic treatments. Naturally, sun protection is important during this time so just make sure you're protecting your skin with a good SPF sunscreen.

Fillers can be used anytime during the year.  I believe people are referring to excessive sun exposure immediately following injection and/or bruising.
