Will Injectable HA Fillers in My Face Look Different After a Couple of Days?

The injectable HA facial fillers that are available in the Charlotte area, such as Restylane, Perlane, and Juvéderm, are wonderful products that are temporary, reversible, and effective for taking years off your appearance.  These fillers require a minor procedure and patients can instantly see the difference after injection of the material.  The fillers are made of a material that is hydrophilic.  This means the injectable filler may slowly increase in fullness over a couple of days as it collects water.  I have found that Juvéderm most commonly increases in size over a couple of days.  For this reason, I will not over-correct with an injectable filler.
