Hi everyone, I'm Dan. I'm recently considering getting a nose filler in Korea, but I'm a bit concerned about the recovery time. I'll be staying here for about a week, and I wanted to ask everyone with experience how long it usually takes after a nose filler before it's safe to take a long-haul flight home.
I've heard that non-surgical fillers should have a quicker recovery, but I'm also a bit worried if the pressure from flying might have any impact on the treated area. Has anyone tried this before? Do you need to wait a few days before daring to fly, or can you fly the same day? I'm currently debating whether to schedule this during my trip.
Also, I'd like to ask everyone, besides flying, are there any other special precautions to take during the recovery period? For example, how to care for it, what you can and cannot do, etc. Thank you all!

I used to worry too, but I waited about 5-7 days before flying back and felt much more comfortable, so maybe you should consider extending your stay in Korea if possible!
I did this on my last trip to Korea and waited about 5-6 days before my flight. It seems safer anyway 😅 Try consulting with the person who did it to see what they recommend!
Hi Dan, great work today! I felt a similar anxiety, but ultimately, for a one-week stay, I think it's important to carefully plan your treatment schedule. In my case, I avoided irritating my face for 3-4 days after the procedure, and before getting on the plane, I consulted with the doctor to confirm any precautions before returning home. It seems there are individual differences, so it might be helpful to mention "I have a long-haul flight in X days" during your consultation to get good advice. I'd love to hear from anyone who has experienced something similar around the same time!
I'm also worried about the same thing, Dan! Long flights after any facial procedure are indeed a bit scary, but from what I've heard from people here, non-surgical fillers recover much faster than others. You might need at least two to three days before flying for the swelling to reduce a bit and for you to feel more comfortable. But I advise you to ask the specialist performing the procedure about your specific situation because everyone is different! 💕
Hi Dan! I'm also considering this and wanted to ask you – are you planning to do it before you go back home, or after you return? Because I heard it's best to have a few days' gap before flying, but a week seems a bit tight. I was wondering what your plan is?
Oh, I feel the same way! I was also worried about flying home after the procedure. It seems like many people wait about 3-5 days before long flights, but it really depends on how quickly each person recovers. Try to schedule in some flexibility if you can~
I totally understand your concern! I've been in the same situation, and honestly, flying back home after getting fillers is something you really need to think through. Talk to your specialist clearly about what to do, and make sure you're ready before your flight.
