This is normal **Day 4-7:** Swelling significantly decreases, more natural appearance **Day 8-14:** Most swelling gone, final result visible **2-week check-up:** Assessment and possible adjustment **Individual variation in swelling:** - Minimal (20-30%): 1-3 days - Average (50-60%): 3-7 days - Significant (10-20%): 7-14 days

Hvem passer dette ikke for

**NOT suitable for:** - Significant sagging skin (needs surgery) - Active infection in the area - Pregnancy/breastfeeding - Autoimmune diseases (relative contraindication) - Unrealistic expectations of permanent results - Cannot accept swelling/downtime

Viktig informasjon

**CRITICAL REALISM:** - Gives volume, does NOT lift sagging skin - Requires maintenance (6-18 months depending on area) - First treatment often conservative - Significant swelling in the first few days is NORMAL - Final results are only seen after 2 weeks **Can be resolved immediately:** Hyaluronidase resolves fillers immediately if: - Unsatisfied with results - Complications - Incorrect placement

**Absolute:** - Pregnancy and breastfeeding - Active infection in the treatment area - Allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine - Bleeding disorders (relative) **Relative:** - Autoimmune diseases - Blood thinning medications (increased risk of bruising) - Previous poor reaction - Unrealistic expectations

Varseltegn

**Contact the clinic IMMEDIATELY for:** - Severe pain that increases (may indicate vascular occlusion) - White skin color (sign of blood supply problems) - Vision loss or changes (IMMEDIATE HELP!) - Black spots (necrosis) - Throbbing pain - Pale skin in or around the treatment area This is RARE, but SERIOUS and requires immediate treatment!

Individuelle variasjoner

**Duration varies with:** - Area (lips last shorter than cheekbones) - Product type (different density and viscosity) - Metabolism - Lifestyle (smoking, stress reduces duration) - Age (younger = faster degradation) **Swelling varies with:** - Area (lips swell the most) - Individual factors - Injection technique - Amount of product

Vedlikehold

**Maintenance Schedule:** - Lips: Every **6-12 months** - Nasolabial folds: Every **9-12 months** - Cheekbones/Jaws/Chin: Every **12-18 months** - Tear trough: Every **12-18 months** **First year:** Often 2-3 treatments to build up the desired effect **No maintenance:** Fillers gradually break down and the volume disappears completely
