Is there any downtime with dermal fillers?
While patients may immediately resume their normal schedules after getting fillers, there are still a few guidelines that need to be followed for a successful outcome. You will need to avoid strenuous physical exertion for 24-48 hours, which can help minimize bruising and swelling. You may experience minor redness and tenderness at the injection sites at first, but these side effects soon fade and are not usually severe enough to keep you from enjoying the rest of your day. You can use an ice pack and gentle massage to improve your symptoms as well.
