The perfect day does exist. And ideally, it’s a few weeks before someone says, “Let’s get a group photo.” 📸
Holiday photos, Thanksgiving dinner, December parties… your calendar is about to get very social. If Botox or filler is on your list, October is the time to start planning.
Here’s how to work backward from your plans:
💉 BOTOX: Give yourself 3–4 weeks before a big event.
You may notice changes within a few days, but results typically take about 10–14 days to fully develop. A little extra time allows for a follow-up and, if your provider recommends it, an adjustment that also needs time to take effect.
💋 FILLER: Allow at least 4 weeks before a big event.
You’ll see an immediate change with hyaluronic acid filler, but your day-one result includes swelling. Bruising and tenderness can also happen, and early swelling often improves over 1–2 weeks. Leaving a month gives you more breathing room for healing and reassessment, especially if it’s your first treatment. Some areas and treatment plans need longer.
So, what does that mean for the holidays?
🗓 THANKSGIVING, NOVEMBER 26
Think late October to early November for Botox, and late October or earlier for filler.
🗓 CHRISTMAS, DECEMBER 25
Think late November to early December for Botox, and late November or earlier for filler.
🗓 NEW YEAR’S EVE, DECEMBER 31
Think early December for Botox, and late November to early December for filler.
Have a party or photo session before those dates? Plan around your earliest event.
