Hi everyone, my name is My. I'm planning to get a nose filler injection in Seoul but I'm worried about flying back home. I'd like to know how long I need to wait after the injection before it's safe to fly. Has anyone done this before and can share their experience?
I'll be in Korea for about a week, so I'm not sure if that's enough time for my nose to heal and for the swelling to completely go down. I've heard that nose fillers cause more swelling than other areas, but I'm not entirely sure. Also, does anyone know if airplane cabin pressure has any effect?
Please advise me! Thank you so much.

I was worried just like you back then! I waited about 5-6 days before getting on a plane, so I felt more comfortable. You can ask your doctor for specific details about the right time for your flight, as everyone is different.
I totally get your concern about the timeline! I was in a similar boat last year, and honestly the swelling really varies person to person—I'd definitely ask whoever you're planning to see about their specific aftercare timeline and whether they think a week is realistic for your situation. Fingers crossed it works out, but maybe have a backup plan just in case? 🤞
I'm also considering a nose filler, so I totally get your concerns! It sounds like your schedule is indeed a bit tight. I'd suggest asking the aesthetician directly about the recovery period before your flight, as everyone's situation seems to be a bit different. I hope your treatment goes smoothly, and I'm looking forward to hearing your update!
Mai-san, I had the same concern! My question is, how noticeable is the swelling between when you apply the patch and when you board the plane? I'd love to hear from someone who's experienced it – is it at a level that can be hidden with foundation or a mask, or is it obviously swollen? 😅
I'm also considering getting a nose filler, so I totally understand your concerns! I've heard it's generally recommended to wait a few days before flying to be on the safe side, but the specific situation might vary from person to person. I suggest consulting with your doctor for their advice.
