Dermal Filler Aftercare Advice

Dermal filler is one of the most popular treatments we perform at PMAC. If you’ve recently had a treatment with us, here is some useful information and aftercare advice.

Dermal fillers often take up to a week to settle, sometimes longer, depending on what kind of filler was used, how much was used, and where it was used.

If you have had lip filler it can be normal for the lips to be bumpy, swollen or uneven looking for up to 14 days after your treatment. Filler in other areas of the face, such as cheeks, chin and jaw, may have little to no swelling or downtime.

Recommendations after treatment:

Apply ice to any treated areas
Avoid blood thinners such as aspirin or anti-inflammatories
Avoid sleeping on the treatment areas
Stay upright for a few hours after treatments
Avoid pressure on the treated areas for a few days
No skin treatments or active skincare over injected sites
Drink plenty of water
Apply hirudoid or Arnica to bruises (we have Arnicare arnica balm for purchase at $17, which we recommend for patients who bruise very easily, this will last you for many treatments and can be applied before and after your appointment). You can purchase Arnicare Balm in clinic, or online here.

Symptoms our doctors would consider normal include:

Bruising (mild)
Soreness over the injection sites (mild)
Swelling (minor, but can be more in the lip area)
Numbness while the local anaesthetic wears off
Minor lumps (but only for a few weeks)
Asymmetry (but only while there is swelling).

Symptoms that you should call your doctor about:

SIGNIFICANT BRUISING (please send photos to Dr Kristy via messenger, Instagram or text the clinic phone, if you see Dr Claudia or Dr Erin please message them directly on their mobile)
INCREASING PAIN over the injection site (minimal pain expected the next day and then no pain is normal)
EXCESSIVE SWELLING
SIGNIFICANT LUMPS (massage gently and send photos to your doctor)

We're only a phone call away.

We hope you're happy with your treatment, and we can't wait to see you again. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
