How long will the forehead swell after hyaluronic acid augmentation?

The forehead is one of the important parts of the human face and has a great influence on the appearance of the human body. A full and round forehead will make people look very energetic. In people's daily life, only a few people have full and round foreheads, and most people have flat foreheads. Faced with this situation, people will also take some external objects to help, and hyaluronic acid injection is a very common situation. Hyaluronic acid injection will make the forehead swell, so how long will the swelling last after hyaluronic acid injection?

After hyaluronic acid forehead augmentation surgery, the forehead will generally be swollen for about a week. The specific time varies according to each person's physical condition and postoperative care. After the operation, you can ask the doctor to prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs for you. Postoperative care must be done well, and the injection wound must not be allowed to get wet. If swelling recurs after forehead augmentation with hyaluronic acid, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for hyaluronic acid dissolution to eliminate the injected hyaluronic acid and prevent repeated redness and swelling. Generally, it can be considered if redness and swelling recur more than 2 times.

Hyaluronic acid injection is the process of injecting hyaluronic acid as a filler into the dermis wrinkles, depressions or areas that need to be plumped up, such as the lips, cheeks, nose bridge, chin, scars, etc., which can achieve the effect of immediate wrinkle removal and changing appearance. In the past, collagen was used as the structure in the dermis. If we use the analogy of building a house with reinforced concrete, collagen is like the steel frame, and hyaluronic acid is like the cement poured in after the steel bars are built. The expansion effect of hyaluronic acid prevents the steel frame from collapsing. However, the injected hyaluronic acid will be slowly absorbed by the human body, so if you want to maintain the effect, intermittent injections are required. Once regular injections are no longer continued, the effects will gradually fade and eventually disappear completely.

Precautions before injection:

Before treatment, please keep your skin clean and remove any cosmetics and skin care products. It is recommended to use cleansing milk and astringent to clean the skin. Use cold water to clean so that the pores can shrink. It is strongly recommended that patients do not take anti-inflammatory drugs for at least 3-4 days before treatment, as they may aggravate bleeding and swelling at the injection site.

Precautions after injection:

After the injection treatment, please keep your face relaxed and do not make too many facial expressions. For at least two weeks after the treatment, please avoid exposure to high heat environments, as it may cause the hyaluronic acid injected into the face to be quickly decomposed, thereby shortening the filling effect. Do not touch or massage the injection site.
