At the 2-week mark, after your treatment, the Hyacorp will begin to absorb water and start to feel like your own body tissue. It is expected that the Hyacorp will feel firm to the touch for a couple of days, this is completely normal and will quickly pass. Aftercare is an important part of getting your desired results. Patients are told to avoid sitting on their butts for more than 45minutes at a time, avoid sleeping on their backs, and not exercise for a short 2-week period. Other important aspects of aftercare include avoiding swimming, sunbathing, blood-thinning medications, and saunas.
