General Filler Care Instructions

This page summarizes the instructions given during your visit. Please refer to it during your recovery after treatment.

  • 1.Mild pain and swelling may occur for about 3 days after the procedure.
  • 2.This varies by individual; if the pain is severe, you may take a pain reliever such as Tylenol.
  • 3.Please take the medication prescribed after your procedure as directed, and let us know in advance if you have an antibiotic allergy.
  • 4.Possible post-treatment reactions include bruising, bleeding, infection, delayed allergic reaction, granuloma, blindness, and skin necrosis.
  • Swelling gradually subsides within 3–7 days, and bruising improves after 1–2 weeks.
  • In areas where muscles are used frequently, some flattening of the filler may occur after treatment.
  • Feeling a round lump at the treated area, unevenness caused by swelling, or slight protrusion with certain facial expressions are all normal findings.
  • A delayed allergic reaction refers to swelling at the treated area after filler, which can occur months or even years later when your general condition is poor.It is reported in roughly 1 in 100 cases with Korean-made fillers and roughly 1 in 10,000 cases with imported fillers.
  • 5.If the shape becomes uneven due to external impact, please visit the clinic.
  • 6.You may wash your face and apply makeup 3 hours after the procedure.
  • 7.For one week, please avoid smoking, alcohol, saunas, hot baths, swimming, and strenuous exercise.
  • 8.Avoid any strong impact or pressure on the treated area for 1–2 weeks.
  • 9.Filler remains moldable for about 2 weeks after treatment, so avoid touching the area as much as possible until it settles.(Touching can cause bacterial infection; if infected, the filler may need to be completely removed along with antibiotic treatment.)
  • 10.If you suspect any abnormal symptoms at all, please contact the clinic immediately and come in for a visit.
  • If bruising at the treated area keeps progressing, or pustules or blisters develop, visiting the clinic right away for treatment can resolve the issue.
  • A dull, tight sensation after filler treatment may last from 1 week to 1 month. If symptoms worsen, please visit the clinic.
  • If redness, severe pain, or a feeling of heat does not subside within 2–3 days after the procedure, please come in right away.

If symptoms last longer than expected or feel uncomfortable, please do not manage them on your own — contact us at 02-565-8273.
