Facial fillers are a treatment procedure in which special substances are injected into the dermis layer or under the skin to remove wrinkles and scars.
The substances used for filling practices are gotten from a special molecule called hyaluronic acid. Facial fillers can be applied to your cheekbones, under-eye area, lips, and chin area.
Facial fillers are injected into selected parts of your face with fine needles. There is no sensitivity and pain in the area, but anesthetic creams can be applied for your comfort.
Skincare is something you need to pay attention to. The permanence time of the filler used depends on this.
Therefore, those who are considering choosing this treatment wonder what should be considered after filling the face. If you are one of them, get a consultation from Prof. Dr. Selçuk İnanlı without delay.
To ensure optimal results and prevent complications, it is important to take good care of your skin also before getting facial fillers. There are some tips to follow below.
Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or any other blood-thinning medications for at least a week before the procedure, as they can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine, as they can dehydrate your skin and make it more prone to bruising. Cleanse your skin thoroughly and apply a hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin healthy and supple.
The recovery process after dermal fillers is generally comfortable and relaxed. The short-term side effects listed below that you may see on your skin will quickly disappear on its own.
The recovery time after facial fillers depend on the point on your face where the hyaluronic acid-containing substance is injected. For example, it takes an average of 1 week to recover after the filler is used to remove wrinkles around your eyes.
Healing occurs within 3 days at the latest after the micro-needles are applied to eliminate your crow's feet, and within 2 days after the ones practiced to your forehead. The times of applications in other areas such as lips and cheeks may also differ.
If you see any complications, don't worry. As with any cosmetic practice, there may be some mild side effects that your specialist can easily treat. In some cases, skin discoloration may occur in a different area where the filler was not injected. If you see any symptoms on your skin, you should talk to your doctor immediately without worry.
Undoubtedly, skin care is one of the determining factors in your recovery time after facial fillers. It is necessary for long-term results to comply with the precautions given by your specialist and not to delay the follow-up examinations after the application.
You should not expose the site of the filling to intense heat. So, don't go to places like saunas and solarium. You should also not wash your skin and take a shower for the first few hours after the application of fillers on the face. You must not swim for a few days after filling, as you have a high risk of infection in the pool and sea.
You must not do strenuous exercises in order for your skin to give good results for the treatment. In addition, excessive consumption of alcohol and cigarettes adversely affects the operation.
It is recommended that you stay away from facial waxing, peeling, and other treatments like these. Before doing anything about your facial care, always consult your specialist who performs the dermal fillers. Besides that, the materials you use while applying makeup can irritate the filled area. Therefore, you should not use them for 1 day after application.
After the facial fillers treatment, you can apply cold compresses for 10-15 minutes on average every hour during the day. However, avoid applying ice directly to your skin. With the help of this practice, you will also reduce the swelling that may occur.
If you apply good skin care after getting a facial filler, your results will also be quite satisfactory. If there is no other problem such as infection, these results are reviewed by your specialist at the end of the 1st month.
It is not useful to check the results before 1 month, because usually a small amount of swelling may be still in the area where the filling is applied. So, the results cannot be evaluated properly until the edema here is completely gone. This is also important in terms of symmetry. The symmetrical appearance on your face settles completely after 1 month.
If there is an option such as refilling, this should be done at least 2 months after the first treatment. After the application on your face is fully settled, you can have this procedure done once a year.
