I want to have facial filler, but I'm going abroad in 2 weeks. What do you think?

Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You should be perfectly fine to travel after your filler injection.  Depending on the placement of the filler, you may have some bruising and swelling, but that should be resolved by the time you travel.

Mitchell A. Kline, MD · Answer

This is a great question. There is no restriction on activities two weeks after getting fillers so there is no reason not to travel. Please keep in mind that you may have some bruising and swelling after your injectable treatment that may last up to 7 days. To minimize these possible side effects be sure to discontinue fish oils, aspirin and any other blood thinning agents. Taking oral arnica pellets and applying arnica gel daily post treatment may help minimize any bruising. Safe travels!

Thank you for your question.  There is no contraindication to undergoing filler injections 2 weeks prior to traveling.  Please keep in mind that swelling and bruising after fillers can persist for up to two weeks, so plan accordingly.  I would recommend discussing your concerns with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon prior to your treatment.  Best of luck and enjoy your trip!

Christian N. Ford, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  You should be just fine to receive your filler treatment 2 weeks before your trip.  Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to allow for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising (if present) to resolve and to see your final result.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

it is kind of a funny question. You should know what you want. you can easily get your filler treatment before you go or if no rush, come back and then have your filler. Good luck from New York City
