Dermal Filler Injections
Aftercare & Emergency Contact Information

Thank you for choosing Ya Wee Butey for your Dermal Filler treatment. Please follow these aftercare instructions carefully to achieve the best results.

Immediately After Treatment

  • Some redness, swelling, tenderness, and minor bruising at the injection sites are normal and usually settle within a few days.

  • Don’t touch, rub, or massage the treated areas unless specifically instructed by your practitioner.

  • Avoid applying makeup for at least 12 hours to minimise the risk of infection.

  • Use a cold compress or wrapped ice pack to help reduce swelling (apply for short periods only, do not press firmly).

First 24–48 Hours

  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and alcohol — these can worsen swelling and bruising.

  • Stay upright for at least 4 hours after treatment; avoid lying face down.

  • Do not expose the treated area to excessive heat or cold.

  • Sleep on your back where possible to avoid pressure on the treated areas, particularly for lips, cheeks, and tear troughs.

Specific Area Guidance

Lips (Lip Enhancement)

  • Swelling can be more pronounced and may last up to 5 days.

  • Small lumps may be felt during healing — avoid massaging unless advised.

  • Keep lips moisturised with a gentle balm and avoid very hot or spicy foods for 24 hours.

 

Cheek, Chin & Jaw Augmentation

  • Mild firmness or tenderness is normal.

  • Avoid facial massages, aesthetic treatments, or dental work for 2 weeks.

  • Do not apply pressure (e.g., from tight headwear, masks, or resting hands on the face).

Nasolabial Folds & Marionette Lines

  • Be gentle when washing or applying skincare.

  • Avoid exaggerated facial movements (e.g., chewing gum) for 24 hours.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty / Pixie Tip Lift

  • Do not wear glasses or sunglasses that rest on the treated area for at least 7 days.

  • Avoid any trauma or pressure to the nose — sleep on your back and avoid facial treatments for 2 weeks.

  • Slight asymmetry or unevenness is normal initially due to swelling.

Tear Trough (Under Eye)

  • This area is delicate — expect mild puffiness or slight bruising for a few days.

  • Sleep with your head elevated for the first 2 nights to reduce swelling.

  • Avoid applying concealer or eye creams for 24 hours.

Ongoing Care

  • Results are typically visible immediately, but final results appear after 2–3 weeks once swelling subsides.

  • Avoid other facial treatments (chemical peels, lasers, facials, or microneedling) for at least 2 weeks.

  • Keep the area clean and protected with SPF 30+ daily.

  • Stay well hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal longevity of your filler.
