In most cases general, a facial filler procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. The number of injections you receive and the depth of insertion depend on the type of filler you request. Fortunately, there is minimal pain involved and patients are able to resume their normal activities almost immediately.

The recovery time varies from patient to patient and will depend largely on what type of filler is used. It is recommended that patients avoid physical activity for the first 24 – 48 hours to minimize bruising and swelling.

Dermal fillers consist of naturally-derived or synthetic material that is directly injected into the skin to plump the area. Depending on the type of filler used, the effects may last anywhere from six months to two years. For semi-permanent or permanent fillers, the effects can last for five years.
