Lip Augmentation
Lips are one of the most important features in facial aesthetics. Especially in women, full and plump lips represent attractiveness and femininity.
Adhering to the golden ratio, achieving a more aesthetic and attractive facial expression through lip augmentation is possible. Lip augmentation is an art and is not applied the same way to every lip.
Who Undergoes Lip Augmentation and for What Purpose?
Lip augmentation is one of the preferred aesthetic procedures both at young and older ages.
As lips age, they lose their shape, thin out, and tend to curl inwards. With the sagging of the lip edges downwards, a person may appear older and more melancholic than they actually are.
In younger patients, lip augmentation is generally performed to make thin lips fuller or to correct asymmetry, while in older individuals, it aims to restore the lost volume and inward curling of the lips due to aging without deviating from natural appearance.
Additionally, lip contour can be enhanced, and fine lines (barcode lines) on the lips can be reduced with lip augmentation.
How is Lip Augmentation Done?
Lip augmentation is performed using fillers containing hyaluronic acid, which is completely compatible with our bodies.
Since lips are sensitive, they are numbed with local anesthetic creams about 20-30 minutes before the procedure to minimize any pain or discomfort. Then, injections are started using very fine needles or cannulas. The procedure takes approximately 15-20 minutes, and patients can comfortably return to their social lives on the same day.
When is the Effect of Lip Augmentation Noticed?
The increase in lip volume and changes in shape are noticed immediately after the procedure. There may be some swelling and bruising in the first few days after the procedure, but they will diminish over time. It takes about 2 weeks for the lips to settle into their final shape. Since hyaluronic acid has a high water retention capacity, the lips appear more moisturized and healthier after the filler application.
How Long Does Lip Augmentation Last?
The durability of lip augmentation depends on the characteristics and amount of the filler used as well as the individual's structural features. The duration of the filler's effectiveness typically ranges between 4-12 months. Not all hyaluronic acid fillers are permanent and they are gradually absorbed by the body over time.
Russian Lip Technique
The Russian lip technique, developed by Russian doctors in recent years and spread worldwide, has become quite popular for lip augmentation.
With this technique, not only can fuller lips be achieved, but also lips that are inwardly curved can be elegantly curved outward.
How is Russian Lip Technique Done?
The application method differs from other techniques. The filler is injected into multiple points with very fine needles, in small amounts. Since the filler is injected vertically, the lip lines become perfectly defined and curve outward. The lips become voluminous and very attractive.
When applied correctly, the technique does not result in a duck-like appearance.
Which Lips are Suitable for Russian Lip Technique?
It can be applied to all types of lips, but the lip structure should be evaluated by the performing doctor beforehand. This technique is more successful in individuals who have not previously had lip augmentation, as previous lip fillers may prevent the lips from curving outward as desired.
What are the Possible Side Effects After Lip Augmentation?
As with all procedures performed using injection methods, swelling, bruising, and bleeding may occur. This is a normal condition and will diminish within a few days.
Precautions Before Lip Augmentation:
Approximately 1 week before the procedure, blood thinners like aspirin should be stopped, and supplements such as vitamin E and green tea, which increase the risk of bleeding, should be avoided.
All painkillers and alcohol consumption should be stopped 2 days before.
If there are skin infections such as herpes in the treatment area and its surroundings, they must be treated before the procedure, and the procedure should be performed after the treatment is completed.
If possible, avoid wearing makeup and ensure that the face is clean before coming to the appointment.
Precautions After Lip Augmentation:
For at least 3 hours after lip filler application, excessive facial expressions, consuming hot foods or drinks, and smoking are prohibited. To prevent infection, lipstick and similar products should not be applied on the same day. Especially in the first week, avoid trauma and do not massage the lips.
Jawline and Chin Augmentation
In a youthful lower face, the transition from the cheeks to the chin is smooth, and the jawline is well-defined; the jaw angles are sharp, with no sagging or irregularities. The jawline, which defines the lower border of the face, extends from the jaw corners to the chin in the shape of a hockey stick.
With aging, bones diminish, fat pads shrink and sag, and there are losses in the skin and subcutaneous tissues, causing the face to sag downwards. The jawline becomes less defined and irregular. Bulldog-like appearance develops along the jaw edges, which is a sign of aging for many individuals. These changes in the face are often accompanied by neck and submental sagging. Additionally, changes occur in the perioral region around the mouth and the chin. There is a loss of volume around the mouth, and the chin may shrink and curl inwards.
The well-defined jawline that resembles a hockey stick in young ages transforms into a w shape with irregularities as aging progresses.
Some individuals may naturally have an undefined or recessed jawline. In individuals with a recessed jawline, the submental area may also be more prominent.
With the Jawline procedure, it is possible to eliminate all these undesired appearances and achieve a sharper, smoother, more aesthetic, and more attractive look.
Considerations for Chin Augmentation:
Before chin augmentation, the entire face of the patient must be evaluated by expert doctors who will perform the procedure. The patient's concerns and the underlying causes of these issues must be correctly identified, and interventions should be made accordingly.
In some patients, working only on the jawline may not be sufficient to correct the chin profile. Especially if there are shape irregularities in the jawline due to factors such as aging or weight fluctuations, the success of combined treatments is always more potent and satisfying. For example, if there is skin laxity in addition to correcting the jawline, treatments such as mesotherapy or devices that tighten the skin should be used; if there is sagging in the face, filler or thread lift applications should be applied to lift the upper face, and if there is fat accumulation in the lower face, fat-dissolving mesotherapy or treatments such as laser lipolysis should be added. When these treatments are added, the results obtained with the Jawline procedure become more pleasing.
Most Common Conditions for Chin Augmentation:
The chin being more recessed and flatter than normal
Undefined jawline
Indentations on the chin, volume loss due to aging
Square-shaped, masculine chin in females
Small or pointed, feminine chin in males
Sagging along the jawline
Prominent submental area due to a recessed chin
These are the most common reasons for which we perform these procedures. However, many other chin-related issues can be corrected with filler applications.
How is Chin and Jawline Augmentation Done?
For chin and jawline augmentation, fillers with low water retention capacity containing hyaluronic acid or mineral fillers are preferred. Before the procedure, the application area is numbed with local anesthetic creams. The injection process is performed with a needle or blunt-tipped cannula, similar to other filler procedures.
Generally, there is no pain or discomfort during the procedure. After this approximately 15-minute procedure, the patient can return to their social life on the same day.
When is the Effect Noticed After the Procedure?
As with all filler procedures, the effect is immediately noticeable after the application.
Possible Side Effects After Filling
Similar to other filler applications, there might be slight redness or bruising due to minor bleeding after the procedure. These side effects are usually caused by the injections and typically fade away on their own, so there's no need to worry.
Duration of the Procedure
The duration of the effect varies depending on the type of filler used and the individual's anatomical characteristics, but it generally lasts between 1 to 1.5 years. The procedure can be repeated as needed, and after this period, individuals can opt for another session if desired.
Amount of Filler Used for Jawline and Chin Augmentation
The amount of filler used depends on the individual's needs, but typically ranges between 2 to 6 cc. More intense results, such as a more defined chin profile and jawline, may require a higher amount of filler. However, using fillers with high water retention capacity and lifting effects can achieve effective results with less filler.
Precautions Before the Filling Procedure
Before the procedure, it's advisable to stop taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin for about a week, and avoid supplements such as vitamin E and green tea that may increase bleeding. Painkillers and alcohol consumption should also be stopped two days prior. If there are any skin infections like herpes in the treatment area or its surroundings, they must be treated before the procedure, and the treatment should be completed before proceeding. If possible, come to the appointment without makeup and with a clean face.
Post-Filling Procedure Care
Avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area after the procedure. For the first three days following the application, especially if there is swelling or bruising, avoid exposure to heat from activities like hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, sunbeds, or sunbathing. Avoid blood-thinning medications and foods with blood-thinning effects for the first few days after the procedure. Refrain from consuming alcohol on the same day. Avoid engaging in strenuous exercise for about a day after the procedure. Due to the risk of infection, do not expose the treated area to water or apply any products or makeup on the same day. Avoid swimming for two days due to the risk of infection. Do not lie face down for four hours after the procedure. Avoid facial treatments on the same day. If a facial treatment is to be performed, it should be done before the filling procedure. If not done, facial treatment can be done at least one week after the filling procedure.
Duration of Chin Filling
Chin area and chin tip fillings are applied with thick and dense fillers with high lifting effects due to the tissue compatibility in the existing area and the intensification of the lines. The duration of the filled filler varies according to the individual's characteristics and structural condition, but it ranges from twelve to eighteen months.
The area where the procedure is performed feels swelling and stiffness in the week following the application. After two weeks, the applied filler integrates with the tissues in that area. Softening begins in the area where stiffness and swelling are felt.
How Long Does the Chin Filling Procedure Take?
Chin filling procedures are performed with injection methods targeting the targeted tissues. This area is an important anatomical structure with nerves and blood vessels passing through it.
For this reason, it is useful for the person who will apply the chin filling to be a specialist and experienced physician in the field.
The procedure takes an average of 15-20 minutes. Afterward, the patient can continue their daily life smoothly.
Do Chin Filling Prices Vary?
The prices of chin filling vary depending on how many tubes of filler will be used during the application and the type of filler selected.
Under Eye Light Filling
The hollows, bags, and wrinkles around the eyes can make a person look older, tired, and unhappy.
These hollows can be structural in nature or due to factors like aging, significant weight loss, inadequate sleep, and fatigue.
Under-eye light filling is a type of filler used especially for individuals with both hollows and dark circles under their eyes.
Containing both hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, multivitamins, and amino acids, under-eye light filling not only fills in the hollows around the eyes but also improves the skin around the eyes, reducing the appearance of dark circles.
Who Can Undergo Under Eye Light Filling?
It can be applied to anyone over the age of 18, regardless of gender, without any health problems that would prevent filler application.
The changes after the procedure are immediately noticeable. Thus, the patient achieves a brighter, healthier, livelier, and younger look.
How Is Under Eye Light Filling Done?
Filling around the under-eye area requires careful attention compared to other filler applications.
During under-eye light filling, the entry point is numbed with local anesthesia. Then, a blunt-tipped cannula is inserted from the appropriate point. Filler is gently placed onto the bone surrounding the under-eye area where there are hollows. Since there is an anesthetic substance in under-eye light fillers, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Since the tip of the cannula used in under-eye light filling is not sharp, it does not damage any veins or tissues during the procedure. Due to its sensitive nature, in many cases, some of the filler is placed three weeks after the initial filling.
If additional filling is needed, it is suitable to do it after 3 or 4 months. The duration of the procedure varies from person to person, but on average, it is about 1 year.
Possible Side Effects After Under Eye Filling?
Since the hyaluronic acid-based filler used is compatible with the body, serious side effects are not expected. As with any injection procedure, redness, swelling, and small bruises may occur on the skin at the injection sites. These are natural and expected side effects. All of these effects usually regress on their own within a few days.
Precautions Before the Filling Procedure
About a week before the procedure, blood-thinning medications like aspirin should be stopped, and supplements such as vitamin E and green tea that increase the risk of bleeding should be avoided. Painkillers and alcohol consumption should also be stopped two days before. If there are any skin infections like herpes in the treatment area or its surroundings, they must be treated before the procedure, and the treatment should be completed before proceeding. If possible, come to the appointment without makeup and with a clean face.
Post-Filling Procedure Care
It is not recommended to massage or rub the treated area after the procedure. For the first three days following the application, especially if there is swelling or bruising, avoid exposure to heat from activities like hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, sunbeds, or sunbathing. Avoid blood-thinning medications and foods with blood-thinning effects for the first few days after the procedure. Refrain from consuming alcohol on the same day. Avoid engaging in strenuous exercise for about a day after the procedure. Due to the risk of infection, do not expose the treated area to water or apply any products or makeup on the same day. Avoid swimming for two days due to the risk of infection. Do not lie face down for four hours after the procedure. Avoid facial treatments on the same day. If a facial treatment is to be performed, it should be done before the filling procedure. If not done, facial treatment can be done at least one week after the filling procedure.
Cheekbone (Zygomatic) Filling
As we age, there is a loss of volume in the facial bones, sagging of fat pads, skin, and muscle, leading to the flattening of the upper cheeks, which may cause the face to look older and tired.
The cheekbones, located on both sides of our face, in the upper part of the cheeks, are aesthetic if they are slightly prominent and pronounced. Having prominent cheekbones is crucial for the face to have a V-shape, appearing younger and more dynamic. Additionally, filling this area creates a tent-like effect, lifting the sagging cheek areas upwards as one pulls the face upwards, helping to correct the faint lines in the jawline caused by aging.
Who Can Get Cheekbone Filling?
Cheekbone filling is usually performed on individuals whose facial features lack definition or whose cheekbones are not pronounced enough, or those experiencing flattening and sinking of the cheekbones due to aging. Fuller cheekbones make a person look younger and more dynamic, while sunken cheekbones can give a tired and aged appearance.
Cheekbone filling does not depend on gender, but the points where the filling is applied differ between men and women. It can be safely performed on anyone over the age of 18 without any health problems that would prevent filler application.
How Is Cheekbone Filling Done?
High-lift capacity hyaluronic acid fillers or mineral fillers are preferred for cheekbone filling. Before the procedure, the application area is numbed with local anesthetic creams. The procedure is performed using a needle injection or a blunt-tipped cannula, similar to other filler procedures.
Pain or discomfort is generally not felt during the procedure. This application, which takes about 15 minutes, allows the patient to return to their social life on the same day.
When Is the Effect Noticed After the Procedure?
The prominent cheekbones are noticed immediately after cheekbone filling. Contrary to popular belief, fillers in this area do not enlarge the face and create an unnatural appearance. The goal is to replace the loss due to aging or enhance the lacking facial features. When performed by a specialist in the field and in the correct doses, the result is quite satisfactory, as with all filler applications.
What Are the Possible Side Effects After Cheekbone Filling?
Similar to other filler applications, there may be slight redness or bruising due to bleeding at the injection sites after the procedure. These side effects, which occur due to injection, do not cause any discomfort as they naturally regress within a short period.
Precautions Before the Filling Procedure
About a week before the procedure, blood-thinning medications like aspirin should be stopped, and supplements such as vitamin E and green tea that increase the risk of bleeding should be avoided. Painkillers and alcohol consumption should also be stopped two days before. If there are any skin infections like herpes in the treatment area or its surroundings, they must be treated before the procedure, and the treatment should be completed before proceeding. If possible, come to the appointment without makeup and with a clean face.
Post-Filling Procedure Care
It is not recommended to massage or rub the treated area after the procedure. For the first three days following the application, especially if there is swelling or bruising, avoid exposure to heat from activities like hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, sunbeds, or sunbathing. Avoid blood-thinning medications and foods with blood-thinning effects for the first few days after the procedure. Refrain from consuming alcohol on the same day. Avoid engaging in strenuous exercise for about a day after the procedure. Due to the risk of infection, do not expose the treated area to water or apply any products or makeup on the same day. Avoid swimming for two days due to the risk of infection. Do not lie face down for four hours after the procedure. Avoid facial treatments on the same day. If a facial treatment is to be performed, it should be done before the filling procedure. If not done, facial treatment can be done at least one week after the filling procedure.
Nasolabial Fold Filling
Nasolabial folds are natural, superficial contours on our faces that become more prominent with age. The skin in this area is very thin, and since it's a region where facial muscles are actively used, it's prone to developing wrinkles.
The area extending from the sides of the nostrils to the corners of the mouth is called the nasolabial area. As we age, the sagging of the upper facial region and the decrease in connective tissue in this area, along with the thinning of the skin and the descent of fat pads, naturally deepen these folds.
As the nasolabial folds become more pronounced, the individual may appear older, more unhappy, and tired than they actually are. After filler application to this area, the person's facial expression becomes softer and gains a younger appearance.
Assessment Before Nasolabial Fold Filling
Before filler application, the entire face of the patient should be evaluated. If there is sagging in the face due to age-related tissue loss, the nasolabial folds will deepen further. If such a condition is identified in the patient, it would be more appropriate to first lift the face upwards with filler or thread lifting treatment in the upper facial region, and then apply fillers to the nasolabial areas.
How Is Nasolabial Fold Filling Done?
The purpose of nasolabial fold filling is to fill the hollows and wrinkles in the nasolabial area using hyaluronic acid or mineral fillers.
Since the application area is numbed with local anesthetic creams, pain and discomfort are not expected during the application. Injection or cannula is used during the procedure.
Soft hyaluronic acid fillers or mineral fillers that are compatible with the area are preferred for filling.
The amount of filler used varies according to the patient's needs.
The application time is approximately 10-15 minutes, and the patient can comfortably resume their daily life after the procedure.
What Are the Possible Side Effects After Nasolabial Fold Filling?
Similar to other injection procedures, redness, swelling, and bruising may occur during nasolabial fold filling. These side effects are expected and naturally regress within a short period.
When Is the Effect of Nasolabial Fold Filling Noticed, and How Long Does It Last?
The effect of nasolabial fold filling is noticed immediately after the procedure, but it may take about 2 weeks for the filler to fully integrate with the tissue and settle in place to open up the wrinkles. The longevity of nasolabial fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the amount, and the individual's structural characteristics, but it generally lasts between 9 months to 1 year. As the effect of the filler diminishes, new filler additions can be made.
Precautions Before the Filling Procedure
About a week before the procedure, blood-thinning medications like aspirin should be stopped, and supplements such as vitamin E and green tea that increase the risk of bleeding should be avoided. Painkillers and alcohol consumption should also be stopped two days before. If there are any skin infections like herpes in the treatment area or its surroundings, they must be treated before the procedure, and the treatment should be completed before proceeding. If possible, come to the appointment without makeup and with a clean face.
Post-Filling Procedure Care
It is not recommended to massage or rub the treated area after the procedure. For the first three days following the application, especially if there is swelling or bruising, avoid exposure to heat from activities like hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, sunbeds, or sunbathing. Avoid blood-thinning medications and foods with blood-thinning effects for the first few days after the procedure. Refrain from consuming alcohol on the same day. Avoid engaging in strenuous exercise for about a day after the procedure. Due to the risk of infection, do not expose the treated area to water or apply any products or makeup on the same day. Avoid swimming for two days due to the risk of infection. Do not lie face down for four hours after the procedure. Avoid facial treatments on the same day. If a facial treatment is to be performed, it should be done before the filling procedure. If not done, facial treatment can be done at least one week after the filling procedure.
Cheek Filler
Flattened cheeks can occur with aging or may be structurally present in some individuals. In an aesthetic face, prominent cheekbones and a voluminous cheek area complement each other. Having defined cheeks contributes to a V-shaped appearance, making a person look younger and more dynamic.
As we age, our faces experience loss of skin, subcutaneous tissue, fat pads, and bone tissue simultaneously. One of the areas where these losses are most noticeable is the cheeks. Cheeks are like the roof of our faces, covering a large portion of our facial structure. When volume loss begins in the cheeks, the face starts to sag downwards, and the line extending from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth deepens even more.
The mid-cheek area also supports the under-eye region, so volume loss in this area can deepen under-eye hollows. All these changes in the cheek area can make a person appear older and more tired.
Cheek fillers, whether hyaluronic acid-based or mineral-based, can restore volume lost in the cheeks, providing a more youthful and dynamic appearance in a short period of time.
Why is Cheek Filler done?
Cheek filler is performed to accentuate the structure of the cheeks and cheekbones. By filling these areas, hollows in the cheeks can be corrected, or structurally flat cheeks can be made more prominent, resulting in a more aesthetic appearance. This procedure can help eliminate signs of aging and fatigue, achieving the V-shaped appearance indicative of a younger and more dynamic face.
Additionally, filler injections in the mid-cheek area can provide support to reduce under-eye hollows.
How is Cheek Filler performed?
Before cheek filler is administered, the treatment areas are numbed with local anesthetic cream. Then, depending on preference, hyaluronic acid-based fillers or mineral fillers are injected into the necessary points using a needle or blunt-tipped cannula. The procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes, and the increase in volume is immediately noticeable.
Does Cheek Filler enlarge the face?
Cheek filler is applied onto the bone and deep layers. When excessive amounts of filler are used by unskilled individuals, the face can appear widened forwards and sideways, resulting in an unnatural look. However, when performed by experienced medical professionals using correct techniques, the results are quite natural. The face is lifted upwards without increasing in size, achieving a younger and more dynamic expression.
How long does Cheek Filler last?
The longevity of cheek filler varies from person to person and depends on the characteristics of the filler used, but it typically lasts between 9 months to 1 year.
How much filler is used?
The amount of filler used varies according to individual needs and the characteristics of the filler. Fillers with high water retention capacity and lifting power require less filler to achieve better results. The more volume loss in the cheeks, the greater the need for filler.
What are the potential side effects of Cheek Filler?
Since hyaluronic acid-based fillers and mineral fillers are compatible with the body, serious side effects are not expected. However, as with any injection procedure, minor side effects such as redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites may occur. These are natural and expected side effects that typically resolve within a few days.
Precautions before Cheek Filler:
- Discontinue aspirin-like blood thinners approximately 1 week before the procedure. Avoid supplements such as vitamin E and green tea that increase the risk of bleeding.
- Discontinue all painkillers and alcohol consumption 2 days before.
- If there are herpes or similar skin infections in the treatment area and surroundings, they must be treated, and the procedure should be performed after the treatment is completed.
- Ideally, arrive at the appointment without makeup and with a clean face.
Post-treatment precautions:
- Avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area.
- Avoid exposure to heat, such as hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, tanning beds, or direct sunlight, for the first three days after treatment, especially if there is swelling or bruising.
- Avoid blood-thinning medications and foods with blood-thinning effects immediately after the procedure.
- Do not consume alcohol on the same day.
- Refrain from heavy exercise on the same day.
- Do not touch the treated area with water, apply any products, or wear makeup on the same day due to the risk of infection.
- Avoid swimming for 2 days due to the risk of infection.
- Do not lie face down for 4 hours.
- Refrain from skincare procedures on the same day. If skincare is necessary, perform it before the cheek filler procedure or wait at least 1 week after the procedure.
Temporal Area Filling
In younger ages, the temporal area appears full, but as one ages, especially in individuals over 40, a hollowing effect starts to occur. This hollowing is caused by a reduction in fat tissue, weakening of muscles, erosion of bone tissue, and thinning of the skin in this area.
The temporal area is crucial in shaping our faces. The volume loss that occurs in this area with age can make a person look older than they are. When filler is applied to the temporal area, the face is lifted upwards, wrinkles around the eyes are reduced, and over time, the dropping eyebrow corner is lifted upwards. This results in a younger, more dynamic, and attractive appearance.
How is Temporal Filling done?
The temporal area is a region where important blood vessels and nerves pass anatomically, and therefore, temporal filling should be performed by experts and experienced individuals. High lifting capacity hyaluronic acid-based fillers or mineral fillers containing calcium hydroxyapatite or polycaprolactone are used.
Temporal filling is done using the injection method. Before the filling procedure, an anesthetic cream can be applied to the temples to prevent pain and discomfort. The procedure usually takes about 10-15 minutes on average. Patients can return to their normal lives on the same day after temporal filling application. While the effect of temporal filling is immediately noticeable, it takes one to two weeks to fully settle and take its final form.
How long does Temporal Filling last?
The longevity of the application varies depending on the characteristics of the filler used, the individual's genetic structure, and environmental factors, but it generally lasts between 9 months to 2 years.
How much filler is needed for Temporal Filling?
The need for filler varies depending on the extent of volume loss, ranging from minimal to substantial. Generally, 1 to 4 cc of filler is sufficient, but this amount can be increased if necessary. Even if there is substantial volume loss, the entire area is not filled at once. Filling is done gradually with 1 or 2 cc each time at intervals.
Temporal filling application, which diminishes over time, can be repeated with the patient's consent and the approval of the physician.
What are the possible side effects after Temporal Filling?
As with other filler applications, mild redness or bruising may occur on the skin after the procedure. In some patients, there may be mild discomfort for up to a week, especially when opening and closing the mouth or eating. These side effects are effects that may occur due to injection and do not cause any discomfort as they disappear spontaneously within a short time.
Precautions before Temporal Filling:
- Discontinue aspirin-like blood thinners approximately 1 week before the procedure. Avoid supplements such as vitamin E and green tea that increase the risk of bleeding.
- Discontinue all painkillers and alcohol consumption 2 days before.
- If there are herpes or similar skin infections in the treatment area and surroundings, they must be treated, and the procedure should be performed after the treatment is completed.
- Ideally, arrive at the appointment without makeup and with a clean face.
Post-treatment precautions:
- Avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area.
- Avoid exposure to heat, such as hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, tanning beds, or direct sunlight, for the first three days after treatment, especially if there is swelling or bruising.
- Avoid blood-thinning medications and foods with blood-thinning effects immediately after the procedure.
- Do not consume alcohol on the same day.
- Refrain from heavy exercise on the same day.
- Do not touch the treated area with water, apply any products, or wear makeup on the same day due to the risk of infection.
- Avoid swimming for 2 days due to the risk of infection.
- Do not lie face down for 4 hours.
- Refrain from skincare procedures on the same day. If skincare is necessary, perform it before the temporal filler procedure or wait at least 1 week after the procedure.
