The results of soft tissue augmentation using injectable fillers are apparent immediately. Your initial appearance after treatment with any filler may include:

• Mild dermal filler swelling or bruising
• Temporary numbness or redness
• An “over-filled” appearance to treated areas

These conditions can be alleviated with topical icing and will improve within a matter of hours or just a few days.

Where fat is the injected filler, these conditions may persist for a few weeks.
