The good news is that recovery after cheek fillers is relatively quick and straightforward. Here’s what you can expect:
- Downtime: Most people return to their regular activities immediately after treatment. Some initial swelling and bruising are normal but usually manageable with makeup.
- Typical Timeline:
- Days 1-3: Most swelling occurs during this period.
- Days 3-7: Swelling continues to subside, and any bruising fades.
- 2 Weeks: Generally, any residual side effects have resolved.
Aftercare Tips for Quick Recovery:
- Apply ice packs: Cold compresses reduce swelling.
- Elevate your head: Sleep with your head slightly elevated.
- Avoid strenuous activity: Take it easy for the first 24 hours.
- Follow post-care instructions: Your injector will provide specific instructions.
