What can be normal

Mild swelling, tenderness, redness, firmness, or small bruises can happen after filler. These symptoms should gradually settle. Your individual recovery depends on the treated area, filler type, technique, and your medical history.

Contact the clinic urgently

Seek urgent medical advice if you notice increasing or severe pain, skin that turns pale, blue, purple, mottled, or unusually cold, sudden vision changes, weakness, or symptoms that rapidly worsen after treatment.
