Swelling, tenderness, bruising and a feeling of firmness are common following body filler treatments. The treated area may initially appear slightly uneven as swelling develops and settles.

Swelling can last for several days, while the final result typically becomes more apparent over 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the treatment area and individual healing process.

Sleeping

Depending on the area treated, your practitioner may advise avoiding prolonged pressure on the area for several days.

For buttock or hip filler, try to avoid prolonged sitting where possible during the first few days and avoid sleeping directly on the treated area if advised.
