The affects of cosmetic fillers is immediate, so some patients want to go out immediately after treatment.  Ideally, patients should use caution for the first four days after treatment, including:

• Use ice packs intermittently for the next 2-3 hours to reduce swelling and discomfort
• Tylenol may be used for any discomfort (avoid aspirin or ibuprofen)
• Arnica (topical or oral) may be used if bruising is present or you are prone to bruising
• Avoid massaging, smoking drinking out of straws, or whistling for the first 4 days
• If small nodules or bumps develop, you may begin to massage them after 24 hours
• Call of return if you experience persistent pain or redness
