Recovery & Downtime

Recovery is usually very manageable, though it varies from person to person.
There is always a risk of bruising with dermal filler. Some clients get none at all, some may get one or two small bruises, and more significant bruising is less common. Age, natural healing response, and medications such as aspirin or blood thinners can all affect how long bruising lasts.

Some swelling is also normal, especially in the first week. Most clients feel comfortable returning to work within 1–2 days, though the face can continue to settle and refine over the course of a month.
