Redness, swelling and occasional bruising are common side effects of dermal filler injections but they usually disappear within a day or two. A light amount of makeup can be applied the same day.  Lip filler may result in swelling / bruising for 2-5 days. Avoid the following: Facials/facial massage tables for 7 days after treatment. Dental work or vaccines for 2 weeks before or after treatment. Taking aspirin and NSAIDs (Advil, Aleve, Motrin), as they can increase your chance of bruising. Soreness can be relieved with Tylenol.  Exercise for 24 hours.  Gua-sha or ice rollers for 3 days after treatment. You may want to avoid salty foods and alcoholic beverages as they can contribute to swelling.
