These steps help your filler settle smoothly and give you the best result. If anything concerns you, call us. We would always rather hear from you.

After Your Treatment

• No vigorous aerobic activity for 48 hours. Walking is fine.
• Do not ice the area. Ice can harm the filler. You can use a cold compress.
• No vigorous massage, such as a facial brush or a facial, for 48 hours.
• Do not apply makeup to the treated area for 8 hours.
• Routine skin care can be resumed after 8 hours.
• Final results can take up to 14 days to appear.
• Plan to repeat treatment in 6–12 months.
• If you were told to massage the area: massage for 30 seconds, 3 times a day, for the next 3 days.
• If you have numbness or pain more on one side than the other after the first 3 hours, call the office right away: [Phone].

If You Had Lip Filler (or Filler Above the Lip)

• For the first 48 hours, drink from a glass only. No straws or bottles.
• Using two fingers and moderate pressure, massage the area for 30 seconds, 3 times a day, for the next 3 days.

Concealing Bruising

• You may use an ice-water washcloth as needed, but no direct ice.
• To speed healing, apply a thin layer of Arnica gel three times daily, underneath lotions or makeup.
• To conceal bruising: on purple areas, use a yellow-based color corrector; on yellow, green, or blue areas, use a pink-based color corrector.
