Hi! I have my second lip filler appointment before I go on vacation. Is it okay to fly the next day after getting lip filler?
Answer: Filler and flights Dont worry francesca, usually patietns who had filler prior to hop in on a flight usually complain of temporary swelling (hours), you'll be OK. Have a blast on your trip

Answer: Flying after lip filler Hello, and thank you for your question. I usually recommend waiting 2 weeks before an event or a trip as bruising and swelling can last for 2 weeks or more. Flying can increase the risk of swelling, bruising, and tenderness as the pressure will be much higher in an airplane. Additionally, most complications occur in the first 24-48 hours after dermal filler and if that would happen, you need to have appropriate access to treatment modalities. If you are concerned, you should discuss this with your injector.

Answer: Fillers and flying Yes, you can fly the day after your lip filler treatment. Keep in mind that you may still have swelling and bruising. Closely follow your injector's post treatment instructions. Use a cold compress intermittently, keep your head elevated, and avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Using arnica and bromelain may also be helpful.

Answer: Fly away! It is fine if you fly, however it is important not to fly on the same day of the procedure so that you are in the same city as your doctor in case you have any questions or complications.
