Prepare Safely

How to prepare for filler.

Key safety notes to know before your appointment.

  • No dental work — for 2 weeks before and after filler (4 weeks if major dental work)
  • No vaccinations — for 2 weeks before or after filler
  • If you bruise easily, avoid NSAIDs (Advil/Motrin), alcohol, and certain supplements beforehand — only if safe for you, ask us first
  • Let us know about autoimmune conditions, multiple allergies, or a history of cold sores
  • Avoid if pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing
  • Do not treat if there's an active infection near the area
Cold sore tip

If you have a history of cold sores and we're treating around the lips, ask us about prevention options.

Products We Use

Hyaluronic acid fillers.

We primarily use HA dermal fillers from the Juvéderm family. HA is naturally found in the body and is used to add volume, improve balance, and support smooth, natural contours.

Why HA filler matters

HA fillers are customizable by area and goal — and if needed, HA filler can be dissolved. That reversibility is a key safety advantage.

We'll recommend the best product for your anatomy and desired finish — soft, structured, or supportive.

Longevity

How long does filler last?

Most filler results last about 1–2 years, depending on the product type, placement, your metabolism, and how much was used. Many clients find their results last longer than expected, especially once they've built toward their goal over time.

Lips
Often long-lasting once you've built to your ideal shape
Cheeks & midface
Longer-lasting support from deeper, structural placement
Jawline & chin
Durable results with the right product and conservative layering
Your metabolism
Filler breakdown varies person to person — yours may last longer

Longevity varies. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on your plan and the areas treated.

Safety

Safety & complications.

Most filler side effects are temporary and can include swelling, tenderness, and bruising. These aren't fun, but they're not uncommon — and they pass.

Rare, but important: vascular occlusion

A true complication that is rare is vascular occlusion — when filler blocks a blood vessel. If there are warning signs, we have a clear protocol and we keep a reversal agent (hyaluronidase) in-office at all times. We review red flags and when to contact us immediately. If needed, we also have access to a plastic surgeon who can see and help treat clients the same day.

If you ever experience severe pain, skin color changes, or vision symptoms after any injectable treatment, contact us immediately and seek urgent medical care.

Aftercare

Day 0 to day 14.

A simple recovery timeline so you know what to expect — and what to avoid — at each stage.

Day 0
Treatment day
Avoid makeup, avoid touching the area (reduces infection risk), and skip alcohol.
First 48 hrs
No strenuous exercise — minimizes swelling and reduces the risk of migration.
Days 1–7
Avoid massaging the area, no jade rollers or face tools, and avoid heavy pressure on treated areas.
Days 7–14
Continue to avoid unnecessary pressure. Swelling should steadily improve as things settle.
2-week window
Avoid dental work and vaccinations around your filler appointment.

Education

How much is in a syringe?

Most dermal filler syringes contain about 1 mL — that's a small amount of volume. Natural-looking results come from precise placement and, sometimes, a staged plan that builds gradually over more than one visit.

Quick perspective

"One syringe" doesn't automatically mean a dramatic change. Your final look depends on where it's placed, your anatomy, and whether the goal is definition, support, or volume.

FAQ

Filler questions, answered.

Will I look natural?

That's the goal. We prioritize balance and conservative correction so you look refreshed — not "overfilled."

How long does filler last in lips or cheeks?

Longevity depends on the product type and how much is used. Once you've built toward your goal, lips and cheeks can last a long time — many clients find results last longer than expected.

Does filler migrate?

Migration is uncommon with proper technique and correct product selection, but it can happen — especially with repeated treatments, shallow placement, or natural movement over time. If it ever becomes a concern, HA filler can be dissolved.

Can filler be dissolved?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers (like the Juvéderm family we use) can be dissolved with a reversal agent if needed.

Filler vs Botox — what's the difference?

Filler (often HA) adds volume and improves balance (fullness, contour, shadow and light). Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles that create lines and wrinkles. They do different things — but often work beautifully together.

How much filler do I need for cheeks or jawline?

It depends on your starting anatomy and goals. A conservative approach can be 0.5 syringe per cheek and about 1 syringe per side for jawline definition — but your best plan is determined during consultation.

Can I work out after filler?

We recommend waiting at least 48 hours before strenuous exercise to reduce swelling and lower the chance of migration.

Is there downtime?

Most clients return to normal activities quickly. You may have temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising.

What should I avoid around my appointment?

Avoid dental work and vaccinations around your filler appointment. Avoid touching or massaging the area, and let us know about medications, autoimmune conditions, allergies, or cold sore history so we can plan safely.
