What to Expect During and After Your Filler Appointment

16 January, 2025

Curious about trying dermal fillers but unsure what the experience entails? At SGAC, we believe in empowering you with knowledge, so you feel confident and excited about your treatment. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect before, during, and after your filler appointment.

Before Your Appointment

Your filler journey begins with a thorough consultation. During this session, your aesthetic doctor will:

  • Discuss your goals and concerns
  • Assess your facial structure and skin quality
  • Recommend the best filler type and placement to achieve natural, balanced results

It’s important to communicate openly about your expectations so your doctor can provide realistic guidance on what can be achieved. You’ll also receive pre-treatment instructions, such as avoiding blood-thinning medications, supplements, and alcohol to minimize the risk of bruising.

During the Procedure

The actual treatment is quick, often lasting 30-45 minutes. Here’s what happens:

  1. Preparation: The aesthetic doctor cleans the treatment area and may apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort. This step helps you relax and minimizes any discomfort during the injections.
  2. Injection: Using a fine needle or cannula, the doctor carefully injects the filler into targeted areas. Each injection is performed with precision to ensure natural and harmonious results. You might feel a slight pinch or pressure but no significant pain.
  3. Sculpting: The doctor gently massages the area to ensure smooth, even results and to integrate the filler seamlessly into your facial structure.

Aftercare Tips

Following your treatment, you can expect minor swelling, redness, or tenderness, which usually subsides within a day or two. To optimize your results:

  • Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and extreme temperatures for 24-48 hours.
  • Stay hydrated to support your skin’s natural healing process.
  • Refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas unless instructed, as this could disrupt the placement of the filler.
  • Use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh treatments, such as exfoliants, for a few days.

When Will You See Results?

One of the best things about fillers is that the results are visible immediately. However, it’s important to allow a week or two for any swelling to settle and for the final results to shine through. During this time, you’ll notice improved volume, smoother lines, and enhanced contours that look natural and refreshed.

Long-Lasting Confidence

Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Regular maintenance appointments can help you maintain your refreshed appearance and ensure your features remain balanced over time. Plus, your aesthetic doctor can make small adjustments to refine your look as needed.
