How soon can you fly after fillers

There are two things the doctors at SkinViva would recommend you consider though:

  • Plan your treatment in advance
  • Booking a follow up after your holiday

When to book a Botox or Dermal Filler appointment before a holiday

The best advice we can give you is to try and book your appointment at least a few days before you go away. Why? Because Botox and dermal fillers can take a few days to settle, especially Botox as it takes up to 2 weeks to fully relax the muscle (although you should start noticing changes around 4-5 days).

We always advise our clients to refrain from any strenuous exercise, alcohol and extreme heat (such as saunas) within 24hrs. So, the same could be said for treatment as it could potentially cause discomfort and be detrimental to the final result. More so than a danger!

Booking a follow up after your holiday

All of our client’s at SkinViva are entitled to a free follow up after any treatment. Particularly for Botox, client’s sometimes need adjustments after the 2 weeks “settling” period.

If you are unhappy within the first few days after Botox or dermal filler treatment, we will only book you in for a follow up after 2 weeks has passed. As the filler is settling and the Botox is “working it’s magic”, things can still change within 14 days after treatment.

Worried about any complications after treatment?

If in a very rare case you appear to have complications from dermal fillers, the treatment is reversible. This is why you should always seek non-surgical cosmetic treatments with a medical professional who can be trusted to deal with any issues that may occur. Usually these will happen straight away so can be treatable right away.

Rest assured, all the clinicians at SkinViva are not just taught how to inject Botox or dermal fillers. They’re all trained in how to deal with complications (such as droopy eyebrow) and designing treatments suitable for the individual. Let’s face it, no face is the same!

In summary, don’t let any of this put you off coming for treatment, but rather try to plan in advance. Particularly if you are wanting to look your best for your holiday snaps!

To book in for your pre-holiday treatment or to come in for a free consultation to understand how we can make you look a refreshed version of yourself this summer, call the SkinViva customer experience team on 0161 850 1141.

Why Can't I Fly Right After Having Dermal Fillers?

How long after filler can you fly?

As a general rule, you really need to avoid flying after facial fillers and wait the recommended 3 to 7 days. Our Injectors usually recommend a 7 day waiting period between getting fillers and flying. However, you can usually fly on the same day or within a few days of receiving most anti-wrinkle injectables.

Can you fly after getting Botox and fillers?

Regarding literature on the safety of flying after dermal filler treatment, it is generally recommended that clients wait at least a week post-treatment to fly. Again, changes in cabin pressure can precipitate the worsening of any swelling or bruising.

Why can't I fly after lip fillers?

Medical literature recommends not flying after dermal filler treatment to avoid swelling and bruising that seems to worsen in the pressurized cabin of an aircraft. Fillers are hydrophilic meaning they attract water and change skin hydration levels, so some people are already prone to swelling after treatment.

Can you fly 24 hours after Botox?

Can I travel after Botox? Practitioners recommend waiting 24-48 hours before flying in case of minor side effects. Otherwise, it could be the case that you have swelling or bruising that you wouldn't necessarily want in your holidays snaps.
