Post Operative Care and Recovery
Patients generally return to normal activities immediately, and optimum results become visible after three or four days. However, following the post-procedure guidelines will dramatically reduce the length and intensity of the recovery period. Patients should avoid engaging in heavy physical exercise, applying cosmetics, or laying down flat for a minimum of 4 hours after the injections. It is also advisable to avoid rubbing the injected area for at least 24 hours.
