Recovery after hand fillers is generally quick and easy. Here’s what you can typically expect:
- Swelling: Some initial swelling is common, usually peaking within the first 24-48 hours.
- Bruising: Mild bruising may occur at the injection sites.
- Downtime: Most people return to normal activities immediately with minimal discomfort.
- Timeline:
- Swelling subsides significantly within a few days.
- Full results become apparent within 1-2 weeks after any final swelling dissipates.
Tips for Quick Recovery:
- Elevate Hands: Keep hands above heart level when possible to reduce swelling.
- Apply Ice: Use ice packs wrapped in a cloth for 10-15 minutes at a time.
- Limit Hand Use: Avoid strenuous hand activities for the first 24 hours.
