Introduction
You’ve invested in enhancing your profile with chin filler, and now you want to ensure those beautiful, defined results last as long as possible. Proper aftercare and understanding how to maintain your treatment are crucial for maximising the longevity and effectiveness of your dermal fillers.
At Dr Mirali Aesthetics, we don’t just provide exceptional treatments; we also empower our clients across South London, including those in Streatham and Sydenham, with the knowledge to care for their results.
Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours)
Following your chin filler treatment at our Streatham Aesthetic Clinic or Sydenham Aesthetic Clinic, adhere to these guidelines for optimal healing:
- Avoid Touching the Area: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area to prevent infection and displacement of the filler.
- Apply Cold Compress: Gently apply a cold pack (wrapped in cloth) to reduce swelling and bruising.
- Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Give your body a break for 24-48 hours to minimise swelling and allow the filler to settle.
- Stay Upright: Avoid lying down for a few hours immediately after treatment.
- Hydrate Well: Drink plenty of water to support your body’s healing process.
- Avoid Alcohol & Blood Thinners: These can increase the risk of bruising.
Long-Term Maintenance & Tips for Longevity
While chin fillers are not permanent, you can help them last longer with these tips:
- Protect from Sun Exposure: UV radiation can break down hyaluronic acid. Always use a high-SPF sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
- Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Good nutrition, hydration, and minimal stress contribute to overall skin health and can help maintain filler results.
- Avoid Extreme Heat: Saunas, hot tubs, and intense UV exposure (like tanning beds) can potentially shorten the lifespan of your filler.
- Regular Top-Up Appointments: To maintain your desired look, schedule follow-up treatments with Dr Mirali every 12-18 months, or as advised. Consistency is key!
- Follow Dr Mirali’s Specific Advice: Every patient is unique. Always follow any personalised aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
Why Ongoing Care Matters
Consistent aftercare and strategic maintenance not only prolong your results but also ensure the safety and health of your skin.
