I still have bruising after cheek filler. Will I need more than a top up if I have to wait?

Hello,

Thank you for your question about managing cheek filler and the timing of a top-up. Here are some insights that may help you plan your next steps:

Bruising After Filler:
Bruising is a common side effect after dermal filler injections and can take a few weeks to fully resolve. It’s important to allow your body adequate time to heal before considering additional treatments.

Timing of Top-Ups:
Immediate Top-Up Not Always Necessary: If you are satisfied with the initial results aside from the bruising, a delay in the top-up should not significantly affect the overall outcome. Fillers typically last several months, so waiting until the bruising has resolved and you are comfortable is advisable.
Consult with Your Provider: Before planning a top-up, consult with your provider. They can assess the situation and determine the appropriate amount of filler needed, if any, based on the current results and your aesthetic goals.

Potential Need for Additional Filler:
Assessment of Results: If you wait until the new year for a top-up, it does not automatically mean you will need more filler. The amount needed will depend on how your body has metabolized the initial filler and your desired outcome.
Customized Plan: Your provider can create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, ensuring that any additional filler enhances your results without overcorrection.

Post-Procedure Care:
Continue to care for your skin and follow any post-procedure instructions provided by your practitioner to optimize healing and results.

Warm regards,
