Swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness, and areas of firm nodules may occur.

Cosmetic fillers are long lasting, but not permanent. Longevity depends on the areas treated, type of filler and your body’s metabolism.

Ice packs may be used to the treated area during the first 12 hours. Ice for 15 minutes on every hour.

Avoid dental work for 30 days after filler injections.

Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach for 24 hours post-treatment to prevent dispersing the product. We recommend you sleep elevated on your back and use pillows to stabilize yourself.

DO NOT massage, touch, or manipulate the injection site unless you are adjusting the filler. Avoid heavy exercise the day of your treatment.

If experiencing swelling, sleep with head elevated for 2-3 days to decrease swelling.

You may take acetaminophen/Tylenol if you experience any mild tenderness or discomfort.

Wait a minimum of four weeks (or as directed by your provider) before receiving any skin care or laser treatments. For most patients, the benefits of dermal fillers can be enhanced by using a medical-grade skincare system. Please contact your provider or a member of the staff for product recommendations.
