When Can I Start Exercising After Shoulder Filler? | Pain and Recovery Period Summary
As interest in quickly improving upper body proportions that are difficult to achieve through exercise alone grows, the number of people considering shoulder fillers is increasing.
This content aims to reduce unnecessary worries by focusing on when exercise is possible after the procedure, the level of pain, and management points.
1) Why choose shoulder filler?
The goal is to improve the ratio rather than 'volume itself'.
If the line from the arm to the shoulder is balanced, the upper body can appear wider and more stable even with the same body type.
-
Growing interest in body fillers: The trend of considering shoulder and clavicle fillers together is on the rise.
-
Visual Effect: The wider the shoulder line, the more the overall proportions are perceived.
2) Understanding anatomical principles and injection volume
For naturalness, the balance of muscle origin, contact surface, and width when viewed from the side must be considered together.
An approach that fills only the front surface can create unnaturalness, which may result in larger actual injection volumes.
