D.J. Verret, M.D. answers: Recovery from injectables like wrinkle filler or Botox?

Before getting an injection like Botox or a wrinkle filler I wanted to know:  what will it take to recover from the injection?

Unfortunately every person is different. Generally, bruising, swelling, and redness at the incision site are most common after injections. If they occur, these will generally resolve in a couple of days.

Some patients do not experience any of these problems but the occurence is variable. The physician will generally point out guidelines to abide by the day of your procedure, but usually these are minimal.
