What is the downtime for fillers like Juvederm or Radiesse used to enhance cheekbones? (Photo)

The wonderful thing about fillers is that there is no downtime.  The procedure is done in the office and you can resume your normal activities that day.  There may be some residual swelling and occasionally bruising from the treatment.  That will resolve over time and you will be able to see your final result by two weeks, although you'll be able to see at least part of the result immediately after treatment.

There is no real down time after fillers, though you may experience some swelling for 1-2 weeks after your procedure, but then you'll have your final results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Majority of the time there is no down time with fillers.  You have to be prepared in advance by not taking any medication such as fish oil, omega-3, Motrin, Advil, aspirin etc.  Minimize alcohol intake or exercise as well.  The swelling after fillers can sometimes be obvious and it is not a good idea to schedule a special event immediately after the fillers. RegardsDr. J

There should be no downtime after having a procedure like Juvederm in your cheeks- mild bruising and swelling could occur- but easily covered with makeup.  You can exercise 24-48 hours after injections.  I always find the final results of juvederm is about 2 weeks.

Most patient say that they get some swelling which can last for a day or two, but it is usually not enough that other people will notice.  Sometimes there can be some bruising and if you do bruise that can last several days.
