The most common early reactions/side effects of injectable soft tissue fillers include bruising, edema and erythema. The application of ice after injection may help reduce swelling, and precautions regarding anticoagulating agents pre treatments may help reduce severity of bruising.

When injected in the correct amounts by the right medical provider, filler injections can result in a subtle appearance that only you will notice. But beware, everyone might comment on your improved appearance, they just might not be able to pinpoint the cause.

If you choose to not continue filler injections, your skin will eventually go back to the state at which it was before you started treatments.
