What to Expect After Your Filler Appointment 💉

So you just got your filler treatment—yay! Whether it’s lip filler, cheek enhancement, chin contouring, or another area, dermal fillers are an amazing way to enhance your natural beauty and restore youthful volume. But what happens after your appointment? Here’s everything you need to know about what to expect and how to care for your skin post-treatment.

🤍 Immediately After Your Appointment

It’s completely normal to experience:

• Mild swelling and tenderness: Most clients notice swelling right away, especially in the lips or areas with thinner skin.

• Slight bruising or redness: This can vary depending on your skin type and the treatment area.

• Lumps or firmness: You might feel small bumps under the skin, which typically smooth out within a few days as the filler settles.

• Minor asymmetry: One side may look a bit more swollen than the other at first — this evens out as the swelling subsides.

These effects are temporary and usually resolve within 3–7 days, though some areas may take up to two weeks to fully settle.

💧 Aftercare Tips for the Best Results

To ensure the smoothest healing and longest-lasting results, follow these aftercare tips:

✅ DO:

• Apply a cold compress for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling and discomfort.

• Sleep with your head elevated for the first night to minimize fluid retention.

• Stay hydrated — filler integrates better when your skin is well-hydrated.

• Use gentle skincare — mild cleansers and moisturizers only for the first few days.

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area unless your injector specifically instructs you to.

• Schedule a follow-up if you have any questions or concerns, or if you’d like a touch-up.

🚫 AVOID:

• Strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours — this helps prevent additional swelling or bruising.

• Alcohol, caffeine, and salty foods for the first 24 hours (they can increase swelling).

• Makeup for at least 12 hours post-treatment.

• Facials, massages, or dental work for at least 1–2 weeks.

• Extreme heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs, sunbathing) for 3–5 days.

💋 When to Expect Final Results

You’ll start seeing results almost immediately, but fillers need time to settle.

• Day 1–3: Most of the swelling and tenderness occurs.

• Day 4–7: You’ll begin to see your true shape and volume.

• Week 2: The filler has fully integrated with your tissue, and the final, natural-looking results are visible.
