Injectable Fillers

Immediately following treatment, you may notice some minor discomfort, stinging, or throbbing, in the injected area. Occasionally some bruising or swelling will occur, but it is usually minor. Any redness that appears in the injected site usually disappears within 24 hours. However, in some individuals, particularly fair-skinned patients, this redness may persist for a week or more. Tiny scabs may also form over the needle-stick areas; these generally heal quickly. No bandaging is needed and you are free to eat, drink, and wear makeup with sun block protection shortly thereafter. If these symptoms persist, contact your surgeon.
