Filler experiences can be exciting and intimidating. You want to go in with your eyes wide open, knowing what you’re getting into at 100% sure that you even want to do it. You also want to know how to take care of yourself afterward. You will find many things online about post-care for filler, but some of the mainstays are very simple.
- Avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements, alcohol, and caffeine to prevent bruising. Strenuous exercise should also be avoided for 24 hours.
- Do not apply makeup until the following day to prevent an injection site infection.
- Avoid dental visits for two weeks.
- Do not hesitate to contact the clinic if you experience any symptoms of vascular occlusion. While this is rare, it is best to know the symptoms. First, normal bruising- it’s almost guaranteed when a sharp needle penetrates the skin. Swelling is a side effect of bruising and can cause temporary asymmetries. Bruising can last two weeks. When a vascular occlusion occurs, worsening pain in one area may be a first indicator, blanching or dusky skin surrounding the treated area, discoloration due to the tissue not getting enough oxygen—this may appear as mottling (purple), followed by a blue-grey hue to the skin. The area will also feel cool to the touch. If any of these symptoms occur, it is essential to reach out to the clinic.
