Your recovery after cheek augmentation will depend upon the type of procedure. The recovery time after non-surgical cheek augmentation is usually short, but you can resume your daily activities immediately.
However, the recovery time after a surgical cheek augmentation may take a little longer and here’s what you can expect:
- Your doctor will prescribe medications to relieve pain and reduce the risk of infections
- You will have mild swelling and bruising that may be worse for the first 2- 3 days but will resolve in around two weeks
- You can return to work and your daily activities within a week
- You can resume strenuous activities and exercise routine after a few weeks when your doctor permits.
