How To Prepare For Getting Dermafillers

wstadmin • August 6, 2022

What are dermal filler injections? Dermal filler injections are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. They help smooth out fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging by creating a fuller cheek, more defined jawline and fuller lips. Dermal fillers are available in a range of dosages, depending on your individual needs.

Before you get dermal filler injections, here are a few steps to keep in mind to prepare:

  • Avoid blood thinner medications
  • Restrict your diet
  • Get familiar with any risks and benefits

Avoid Any Blood Thinning Medications

Inform your physician about what medications or supplements you are currently taking, including those that are prescription or over-the-counter. Your doctor may want to adjust the dosage of any medications that may make you more susceptible to bruising. Some medications you may want to avoid include aspirin, motrin, ibuprofen, etc. Make sure to avoid these five days prior to your appointment.

The most common adverse effects of blood thinners include bruising, bleeding and nausea. It’s important to let your doctor know of any issues that do not go away, or that get worse over time.

Follow Dietary Restrictions

To minimize bruising and prolong bleeding it is always a good idea to avoid certain foods/ingredients. These restrictions should be followed 2 weeks prior to treatment. This will help reduce any bruising and swelling you may get after your injections.

Some ingredients we recommend to avoid for a quicker recovery are:

  • Vitamin E
  • Herbal Supplements
  • Green Tea
  • Sushi
  • Fish Oil
  • Omega-3
  • All nuts & seeds
  • Alcohol
  • Avocado

Get Familiar with Risks and Benefits

To feel the most prepared and at ease when it is time for your appointment, getting familiar with any common complications or risks will put your mind at ease if they end up becoming an issue that you face. Some things to keep in mind is you may notice bumps, lumps, and other irregularities after filler injections.

To minimize these side effects, you can use ice packs to calm the area and relieve swelling during the first 48 hours. After that, gentle massage may be recommended to help smooth out the surface of your skin. Keep in mind that unanticipated swelling or bumps can occur at any time during the healing process, but if they last longer than two weeks you should call your doctor or office.
