I am thinking about getting fillers like stated above to enhance and make my cheekbones higher. What's the downtime process? Will I need to pause any activity? When will I see the "final results"?

Hi and thank you for your question.
It is very early for infection although you must be vigilant for this. it sounds as if some product is escaping and you may have inflammation. See your practitioner for a check up as soon as possible.
Hope this helps and wishing you all the best,

I would not worry. Bruising and swelling of the lips is very common after injection. Swelling can last a few days after treatment as bruising can last 7-10 days. Icing the area can help reduce swelling. Please contact your treating physician if the swelling does not go down or gets worse.
It is normal to have some swelling after lip injections. I recommend massaging the area a few times a day. Swelling should subside after two weeks. If then you are still unhappy you can have it dissolved with hyaluronidase.
