Filler Freedom: Moving On From Injectables
“Dr. Melissa Doft, a board-certified plastic surgeon, recommends starting small and being patient. “If it is the first time, I usually start slow,” she says. “I will add less toxin or filler than I may normally if the patient is nervous.” She says that some recipients experience bruising or swelling that can throw off the initial look. Doctors also point out that what you see at first is not necessarily what you will get. Botox injections can take five to seven days to take effect, and fillers can take up to three weeks for full results.”
