What Is The Downtime For Filler?

2/14/25

Filler is all over the place (literally and figuratively) and we aren’t just talking on the face.

Everyone from celebrities to moms to millennials are getting this amazing product. 

Ready to learn more? Here’s what you need to know about filler.

Lip Filler Before and After

First, what is filler?

Filler is made of hyaluronic acid, a sugar (found naturally in the body) that adds temporary volume and definition. Over time, we lose fat pads in our face which results in the skin to “sag” and look flat. Filler acts as a replacement for those fat pads that are lost over time.

Where can you put filler?

Literally most places on the face! Fillers can be put in the cheeks, chin/jawline, lips and smiles lines!

Lips

Cost?

This amazing investment in your skin, but with our membership prices you can get filler starting in the $500 range!

How long does it last?

This varies per area. Lips and smile lines last the least amount of time, cheeks/chin/jawline last much longer.

Downtime?

Almost nonexistent, really. No working out or extreme heat for 48 hours and then you’re free to go about your normal routine after filler.

Midface + Lips

Bruising?

It’s common and it can definitely happen. Our face is full of vessels and it’s pure luck if you walk away with zero bruising. Always get filler 2-3 weeks prior to a major event.

How do I prepare?

Decrease or eliminate caffeine and alcohol consumption 2 days before your appointment. These will increase bleeding. Prepare 3 days prior by taking over the counter arnica tablets.

Lip Filler Before and After

Do not fear the filler. It’s easy, cost-effective and will bring you the youthful look you lost or always longed for.
