Anybody have a definitive answer?
As a plastic surgeon in Canada, I can provide you with information on the recovery time for ArteFill, a dermal filler that has been approved for use in Canada. ArteFill is a long-lasting, non-reversible filler that is composed of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres suspended in a collagen gel carrier.
The recovery time for ArteFill can vary depending on the individual patient and the specific area(s) treated. Generally, patients can expect some swelling, redness, and minor bruising at the injection site(s) for the first few days following the treatment. These side effects are typically mild and should subside within 3 to 7 days.
In terms of the overall recovery timeline, most patients can resume their normal daily activities within a few days after their ArteFill treatment. However, it is important to note that the full results of the treatment may not be visible for several weeks, as the filler takes time to integrate with the surrounding tissue and achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
Patients should avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may increase blood flow to the treated area for the first 24 to 48 hours following the procedure. Additionally, it is recommended that patients avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for the first week, as this can potentially affect the healing process.
It is essential for patients to follow all post-treatment instructions provided by their plastic surgeon to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. This may include applying cold compresses to the treated area, avoiding certain skin care products, and attending any follow-up appointments as scheduled.
In terms of the long-term effects of ArteFill, the results can be expected to last for several years, with some patients experiencing the benefits of the treatment for up to 5 years or more. However, it is important to note that individual results may vary, and the longevity of the filler can be affected by factors such as the patient's age, skin type, and lifestyle.
Overall, the recovery time for ArteFill in Canada is relatively short, with most patients able to resume their normal activities within a week or less. However, it is essential for patients to work closely with their plastic surgeon to ensure that they are fully informed about the treatment process, potential side effects, and the expected recovery timeline.
