Applying an injection to the skin incurs some degree of controlled injury. By using very fine needles, the discomfort that results from this skin trauma is kept to a minimum, which is more comfortable for the patient. A procedure of this nature often includes the option of having a numbing cream applied to the treatment area, before the procedure commences. This will reduce any feelings of sensitivity.

Some side effects from the application of cheek fillers includes: swelling, bruising, facial redness and itching, though most people don’t experience these. These effects will often subside within 12 – 24 hours and should not affect your ability to carry out your usual daily activities. Rare side effects or complications will be discussed at your consultation. It is important to ensure any aftercare advice is followed and your health condition and medical history is shared with Dr. Shaan, in order to decrease the risk of developing further complications. 

The period of downtime that one can expect is often very minimal, with this type of procedure not interfering with your physical mobility. The degree of discomfort that a person experiences can vary from case to case, as everyone tolerates sensitivity differently. To ensure effective healing, you will need to follow Dr. Shaan’s expert advice and he is always available to speak to should you have any concerns.
