Dermal Fillers
Is exercise risky after filler injections for wrinkles?
It would be unusual for an injectable filler to migrate from its location on the face after running. The more common (but still very unusual) complication would be additional bruising or bleeding and that would likely not be much of an issue after about 24-48 hours. Products that thin the blood can increase this risk.
Clinical Context
Exercise raises heart rate and blood flow to the skin, which can make a recently injected area bruise a bit more easily or bleed longer than usual. This is separate from the filler itself, which stays where it was placed. Areas with more blood vessels, like the lips or under-eyes, may bruise more noticeably than a forehead line. Blood thinners such as aspirin or fish oil can add to this risk, so mention any you take to your injector beforehand.
