First 24–72 Hours

Avoid excessive facial movement, rubbing or massaging the area, strenuous exercise, alcohol, excessive heat, saunas, steam rooms, sleeping face down, and dental treatments where possible.

Avoid excessive facial movements and strong facial massage. Use gentle skincare only, stay hydrated, and wear SPF 50+ daily.

For approximately 2 weeks, avoid strong facial massage, excessive facial manipulation, large dental procedures where possible, sleeping face down, high-impact exercise, and aggressive skin treatments.

Please contact the clinic promptly if you experience increasing or severe pain, significant swelling, excessive asymmetry, signs of infection, skin colour changes, persistent puckering, fever, or any symptoms causing concern.
