October 22, 2024

• Avoid significant movement or massaging of the treated area

• Do not sleep on the treated area (try to sleep on back) 

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours 

• Drink LOTS of water to help the filler plump and to make it absorb evenly

• Avoid extensive sun or heat for 72 hours

• Avoid flying for 2 weeks post injections – pressure will displace the filler 

• Avoid consuming excess amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excess swelling.

• If you have swelling you may apply a cool compress for 15 minutes each hour.

• Use Tylenol for discomfort.

• Try to sleep face up and slightly elevated if you experience swelling.

• Take Arnica to help the bruising and swelling, start at least 2 days prior to injections.

• Consider including pineapple in your diet as it helps relieve inflammation / swelling.

• Make sure to call if you have any concerns.
