Filler treatment involves injecting filler under the skin to fill in sunken areas or improve facial volume. Since discomfort such as swelling or bruising can vary depending on post-procedure care, it is important to check the precautions.

Today, I will summarize the areas and effects of filler injections, as well as potential symptoms and precautions to take after the procedure.

1. Filler Treatment Areas and Effects

Fillers are a procedure that instantly improves facial wrinkles and sunken areas with a simple injection rather than surgery. It is said that you can expect the following effects.

 

1) Forehead

It is said to help add volume to a flat or sunken forehead, creating a soft and three-dimensional forehead line.

 

2) Nasolabial folds

It is said that if the nasolabial folds appear prominent due to the sunken area, fillers can be used to supplement the lack of volume, making the wrinkles look less deep.

 

3) Under-eyes/Cheeks

Lack of volume under the eyes or in the cheeks can make the face look tired or older. It is said that using fillers to restore volume to these sunken areas can help create a more vibrant and three-dimensional look.

 

4) nose

It is said that it can be used to complement areas lacking volume, such as the bridge or tip of the nose, to make the nose line look smoother and more three-dimensional.

 

5) Lips

It is said that injecting fillers into thin or volume-deficient lips can improve their volume and contour.

 

6) Recessed chin

It is said that if your chin is short or appears recessed, you can expect a natural V-line effect by using fillers to add volume to the chin tip.

2. Symptoms that may occur after filler treatment

It is said that the following symptoms may temporarily occur after a filler procedure.

 

1) Swelling

Swelling is one of the most common symptoms experienced after a filler procedure. It is said that temporary edema may occur as the filler is injected.

 

2) Bruise

It is said that temporary bruising may occur as the injection needle stimulates small blood vessels under the skin.

 

3) Redness/Pain/Tenderness

The treated area may turn red, or you may feel slight pain or a foreign body sensation when pressed. Generally, it is said to improve over time.

3. Precautions After Filler Procedure

1) Do not press hard or massage the treatment area.

It is recommended to avoid repeatedly pressing or rubbing the treated area immediately after a filler procedure.

 

2) Refrain from drinking and smoking

It is said that refraining from drinking and smoking for a few days after the procedure is helpful, as they can delay wound healing.

 

3) Avoid hot environments like saunas or steam rooms

It is said that it is important to avoid high-temperature environments, such as hot saunas and steam rooms, immediately after the procedure. It is also recommended to avoid them for about a week.

 

4) Contact a hospital if accompanied by pain, etc.

Tenderness or swelling at the filler site may occur for about 2 to 3 days after the procedure, and it is important to contact the hospital if skin discoloration or sharp pain is present.

4. Q&A

1) When can I start exercising after a filler procedure?

Light daily activities are possible, but it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise that causes excessive sweating or a significant rise in body temperature for about 2 to 3 days. Immediately after the procedure, it is advisable to get sufficient rest rather than engaging in weight training or high-intensity aerobic exercise.

 

2) How long does the swelling last after the filler procedure?

Results may vary depending on the individual and the treatment area. Generally, swelling that appears immediately after the procedure subsides over time within about a week. However, if swelling worsens, or if severe pain or changes in skin color occur, consultation with a medical professional is required.

 

3) Can I see the effects immediately after the filler procedure?

Changes in volume may appear immediately after filler injection. However, since swelling or injection irritation may occur right after the procedure, it is difficult to conclude that the immediate appearance is the final result. It is recommended to check the shape after the swelling has subsided to some extent.

 

4) How much does the filler cost?

The price of Maypure filler is 90,000 won per 1cc of domestic filler.

Fillers are a procedure that can enhance volume or contours in desired areas in a relatively short time, but temporary reactions such as swelling or bruising may occur after the procedure. Therefore, it is important to monitor the progress while avoiding excessive touching or irritation of the treated area, as well as refraining from alcohol, strenuous exercise, and saunas for a certain period after the filler treatment.
