Swim Goggles After Restalyne?

Good question.  We recommend one week for tear trough treatments inasmuch as this area is known for delayed swelling with manipulation or pressure too soon after treatment.  Always err on the side of caution to maintain the best outcomes.

No matter what, when you remove the goggles you will have an impression of the goggle in the area where the filler was placed.  This will calm down in an hour or so.  If your do this on the day or the day after treatment, it is actually possible for tight fitting goggles to move the material around-not a good thing.  It is important to have goggle that fit water tight without being too binding.  Good luck with this.

I would recommend you waiting atleast 1 week after injections to return to using your  goggles for swimming.  The product is still moldable for a few days after your treatment and there will be swelling in the tissues that can cause excess discomfort.

Hope this helps.
