RECOVERY TIME
Depending on the injection location and the amount of filler injected, you can expect bruising and swell to last at least five days. That’s the main reason doctors recommend to schedule your appointment at least two weeks prior any important event like weddings or photoshoots.
If you want to reduce that downtime after the procedure, you could stop taking aspirin, vitamin E and Motrin two weeks prior the appointment. That will reduces bruising.
Keep in mind that you’ll see final results after the bruising and swelling have gone away, so be patient and wait for it to heal.
