Hi! I am going back to my doctor in a week to get a touch up of my botox (he's a facial plastic surgeon and I trust him completely). I am considering getting filler in my tear trough for my hallowness and dark circles.Should I be taking time off work for recovery? I am nervous that I will bruise n swell. I also saw some pictures of this procedure going horribly wrong, but I think that was due to the wrong person doing the injections? I guess Im just nervous...but should I take a few days off??
Answer: Tear Trough Injections There is an increased risk of bruising in the tear trough area. Avoiding blood thinning products prior to the injections may be beneficial. If you do get bruising it can be covered with concealer. Best of Luck

Answer: Time off work after injections Most people should be able to return to work the day after they receive their injections. You will be able to cover the area with makeup if you desire.The undereye area is more delicate however so bruising is always a possibility. Icing after injections as well as taking arnica may reduce bruising. It is best to avoid anything with blood thinning properties a week or two prior to your treatment as well. It is recommended not to have any significant social events planned for two weeks following cosmetic injections in order for any swelling, redness or bruising to have a chance to settle.Best regards

Answer: Tear Trough Injections- How much time off? Facial filler can result bruising. Patients without a bruise can resume normal activities right away. Patients with bruising may need to take some time off if there is a bruise (depending on the size and type of bruise). Patients can decrease their chances of a bruise by maximizing their personal physiology by avoiding blood thinners and perhaps taking recommended herbal supplements such as Arnica.While bruising in my practice is not common, it can occur and typically can be covered easily with makeup when it does occur. Be prepared for a bruise so that if you do have one, your recovery will be easier.

Answer: Make sure they use a microcannula and consider a different filler Juvederm can result in much too much swelling in that area. You'll probably be better off with something with less propensity to attract water and that won't create a bluish tinge (juvederm can sometimes do this which is not an improvement over the dark circles!)If done correctly you'll be back at work later the same day. I'd strongly suggest making sure they use a microcannula to reduce bruising.

Answer: Tear trough injections Juvederm is not the best filler for the tear trough area as it can get quite swollen for long periods of time after the injection. Better to use either Belotero or Restylane. Most people will get some swelling for a day or two after the injection. Some will also bruise, and this is quite variable. Most patients do not take days off from work for this, but I wouldn't do it 2 days before any big event!
