Safe recovery after Filler treatment

Written by David Mills | Nov 7, 2025 8:39:24 AM

Recovery after filler treatment is generally straightforward. Most patients return to normal activity the same day, but good aftercare helps maintain results and minimise side effects.

1. First 24 Hours

Expect mild swelling and tenderness. Avoid touching the area or applying makeup (for facial treatments) and follow your clinic’s specific instructions.

2. Days 2–5

Swelling and redness should begin to fade. Continue to avoid saunas, alcohol, and strenuous activity.

3. After One Week

The filler begins to settle into place, and the final contour becomes visible. A review appointment ensures everything is healing correctly.

4. Long-Term Care

Hydration is key — drink plenty of water and consider periodic touch-up treatments to maintain optimal results.
