Exercise Risky After having Wrinkle Filler Injection?

Is there any risk of being highly active (such as in running) after filler injections? I am a runner and fear that if I use a filler it will sag and "drop" beneath the skin due to running or other physical activity.

Running and Injectable Fillers

Thanks for the question - It would be unusual for an injectable filler to migrate from its location on the face secondary to 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 as Dr. Persky has pointed out. I hope this helps.
