When can I work out after bellafill?

Question

Hi, I’m just wonder how long I should wait to work out after receiving bellafill to avoid migration?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

After getting a facial filler treatment, it is recommended that you wait at least 24 to 48 hours before your resume exercise.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Bellafill and Artefill are known to cause granulomas. Although used for soft tissue augmentation, they can, and are known to cause permanent nodules and swelling. This is not the case for everyone. 
My office specializes in the removal of Bellafill and Artefill injections, in addition to silicone biopolymers, from the face and body. Initially, treatments are non-surgical with corticosteroids and immune modulators. If unable to be corrected, we can also perform surgery in some cases. 
Lastly, our office is conducting ongoing studies of plasma-assisted corticosteroid application, which allows for diffusion of the treatment medication in superficial tissue without causing atrophy. 
Best,

Each physician will have their own preference for patient activity after a Bellafill treatment.  For my patients, I let them work out anytime after a Bellafill injection.  I do recommend that patient's not have a massage, with their face down in a face cradle, for about a week after the treatment.  I do not believe that working out would cause any migration of the filler though.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

I tell my patients to take it easy on the day of the injections and to elevate their head on 2-3 pillow for 2-3 days when sleeping. Working out can be restarted on the following day. Migration of filler is uncommon with Bellafill and working out does not change that risk.

Richard E. Moore, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Each physician is going to have their post-care protocol following filler injections. My recommendation is to wait until the following day to workout. That being said, you should follow the recommendations of your injector since they are ultimately responsible for your care.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore
