#FILLERS SIDE EFFECT SKIN#
Whilst small lumps and bumps under the skin are quite normal after a dermal filler treatment, if you experience particularly large, painful lumps we recommend contacting the clinic for advice as this may suggest a mild reaction. To see your true results allow 2 weeks for everything to settle. For example it is quite common for lip filler swelling to continue to worsen over 48 hours following a lip filler treatment and then to go down over the next few days. This is because swelling has subsided which can feel like volume has been lost. In some cases of dermal filler treatments it can feel like results have lasted a short period of time.

We ask that patients flag up any alerts to our staff of ongoing severe pain after procedures. Patients do report tenderness at injection sites but this should go down over a few days along with any associated swelling and redness. There is also a numbing agent contained within the Juvederm products we use. With a dermal filler treatment we apply anaesthetic cream before every dermal filler procedure to keep pain to a minimum. We can’t make tweaks before this time because we can’t see your true results while swelling and bruising is present.

We ask that all patients allow a full 14 day period for residual swelling to subside. However, a small amount of bruising and swelling around the treated area is completely normal and to be expected.
