Can you advise on cheek filler & pressure from VR headset/goggles?

Question

Hi Doctors! If I get Juvederm fillers in my cheeks, is there a length of time I should wait before using my VR gaming headset? It does put pressure and weight on my cheeks where the fillers would be placed. Would it be safe to use the headset after a certain length of time? Would I have to wait longer for certain fillers than others (ex Voluma vs Vollure)? Thank-you!

It's best that you wait two weeks before placing continuous firm pressure on the treated areas.  This would include goggles and tight masks.  After two weeks the product should be settled and any swelling should be resolved.

Hello, and thank you for your question! When we place cheek filler we ask that you do not apply pressure to the area for at least the first 48 hours as the filler is still moldable at that point. We also say that the filler takes a full two weeks to fully integrate into the tissue. Hope this helps!
