hello, I am due to fly 4 hours after I have dermo fillers in my laughing lines. I am also having botox in the forehead and crows feet. Do you think I will be ok?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, you should be ok to fly after receiving dermal fillers and Botox. Changes in cabin pressure can sometimes lead to swelling, which is why it's typically recommended that you wait a day or two before flying, but if your injector has no problem with it, and you've had these treatments done before without any adverse side effects, you should be fine. Be sure to speak to your provider if you have any concerns.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Yes, it is safe to fly four hours after your filler treatment.  Please be aware that bruising and swelling may be present.  Avoid alcohol, aspirin, Vitamin E supplements, and any other medication or supplements that can thin the blood for about a week prior to treatment.  This will help minimize bruising.

David Yew, MD · Answer

It is safe to fly after receiving fillers or Botox. There is no contraindication to flying after receiving these treatments. Please keep the usual precautions which is to keep the treated areas clean and dry to avoid any injection. Use a mineralized sunscreen during the daytime.

You should be fine, flying is not a contraindication. Let your doctor know to get a complete assessment.
