What can I Expect? At Elevated our providers understand how important your aesthetic is to you, your confidence, and emotional wellbeing. We take tremendous pride and care in working to provide you with an enhanced aesthetic that is natural, symmetric, and appealing. Our providers will first consult with you to determine what goals you have. They will then take mental and physical measurements and calculations, as needed, to determine your current facial symmetry and anatomy. They will walk you through areas, which could improve your symmetry and correct any volume loss or volume concerns you may have. Treatment can typically occur same day, and on average takes only about 25 to 40 minutes to complete. Your provider will provide topical numbing, and if you prefer, can also provide an enhanced numbing experience through injected numbing medications, oral medications, and other pain reduction methods to make your experience a painless one. Most of our patients express little to no pain, and have little to no bruising, swelling, or bleeding at the injection site. We typically recommend patients begin icing the area right after injections, and may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to help reduce any inflammation or pain. Some patients may experience light swelling, brusing, bleeding at the injection site, and discomfort which typically subsides within 2 to 5 days. We recommend for this reason, planning your filler injections at least one week prior to any major event, function, or photos you may have. Fillers last anywhere from 9 to 18 months for most patients, although it varies by placement, the filler you select, and your body. Your provider will discuss what options are right for you at your appointment.
