We apply topical numbing cream before treatment, and most fillers contain lidocaine for additional comfort. Most patients describe mild pressure or pinching. We also use blunt-tip cannulas when appropriate to minimize discomfort.

Different fillers have different consistencies, longevity, and ideal placement areas. Softer fillers work well in lips and fine lines, while firmer fillers provide structure for cheeks and jawline. We'll select the best product for each specific area.

Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 9–18 months depending on the product, placement area, and your metabolism. Cheek fillers tend to last longest, while lip fillers metabolize faster due to constant movement.

Most patients have mild swelling for 24–48 hours and occasional bruising. You can return to work immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Makeup can be applied the next day.

Some swelling immediately after treatment is normal, especially in the lips and under-eye area. This typically resolves within 1–3 days. We recommend scheduling treatment when you have a few days of social downtime if possible.
