Usually, swelling lasts for one day after the procedure. Unfortunately, swelling is an inpidual reaction of the body. Bruising may also occur after the treatment.

The effects of the procedure will be visible 2–4 days after the enzyme is administered.

Yes and no. In the first phase, there may be a visible loss of firmness in the treated area, but this is naturally restored by the body at a rate depending on:

• the patient’s age
• how long the filler was present in the tissue

This means that the longer the filler was in the tissue and the more mature the patient (35+), the longer the recovery time. This period can be shortened with revitalizing treatments, such as mesotherapy with sodium succinate or non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid.

Younger people, whose tissue contains and produces more collagen and elastin than mature tissue, will regenerate much faster without the need for additional revitalization. Also, re-modeling the lips after an unsuccessful procedure may be possible as soon as 2–3 weeks later.

The exact timing for the next procedure will be determined by the practitioner, taking into account your inpidual case, age, skin condition, type of dissolved filler, and the amount of hyaluronidase used.

After filler reduction, you should pay special attention to hygiene, as with all other aesthetic procedures. For a few days, avoid alcohol, tanning, close contact with animals, and physical activity. Makeup can be applied the next day.

To safely undergo the procedure, it is important to rule out an allergy to hymenoptera venom. Patients allergic to wasp venom may already have antibodies in their system that also react to hyaluronidase. In such cases, additional enzyme application carries a high risk of severe allergic reaction or even anaphylactic shock.
