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

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. 

Greetings!

The beauty of dermal fillers is that there is no downtime! There are some patients that are easy bruisers and may develop some bruising, but the majority of patients experience no bruising. There may be some minor swelling in the treated area, but with a little ice, will generally go down the same day. You will not need to pause any normal activity unless that is something that you choose to do. Final results typically take up to two weeks to see. Some patients see it faster, but that varies from person to person. I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon in your area, since this is a technique that does require advanced injection training. 

Best of luck to you!
