Aftercare Guidance Following Submental Fullness Treatment

After receiving a submental fullness treatment at Touch of Beauty, your nurse will provide personalized after-care instructions tailored to your care plan. The guidance below outlines general post-treatment practices that many people find supportive.

Immediate After-Care

• Hands-off: Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated area for several hours following treatment.

• Comfort: Resume normal daily activities as tolerated, while following any individualized instructions provided by your nurse.

• Cleanliness: Keep the area clean and avoid applying heavy creams or products until after your clinician advises it is appropriate.

Your nurse will explain any specific steps you should follow based on your individual treatment.

Activity & Environmental Considerations

• Physical activity: Avoid vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, and strenuous activity on the day of treatment unless otherwise advised by your clinician. Light daily movement such as walking is generally acceptable unless discussed otherwise.

• Heat and sun exposure: For a period after treatment, avoid saunas, steam rooms, intense sun exposure, or high-heat environments until your clinician advises it is suitable.

Common Treatment-Area Responses

Following lipolysis injections, temporary treatment-area reactions are common and may include:

• Swelling, which may be noticeable and can vary from person to person

• Bruising

• Redness

• Tenderness, discomfort or firmness

• Numbness or altered sensation in the treated area

These effects generally improve as the area heals. The degree and duration of swelling and other treatment-area reactions can vary between individuals.

Follow-Up & Next Steps

Responses to submental fullness treatments differ among individuals. Your nurse may recommend follow-up appointments to review how the area is responding over time and to discuss whether future sessions may be suitable for your care plan.

​

Follow-up recommendations will be based on professional assessment and your individual needs.

When to Contact the Clinic

Contact the clinic promptly if you experience:

• Difficulty swallowing or changes in swallowing

• An uneven smile, facial muscle weakness or other changes in facial movement

• Increasing redness, warmth, pain or swelling that may suggest infection

• Open sores, skin breakdown, blistering or unusual changes to the skin in or around the treated area

• Significant or worsening pain

• Any severe, persistent or unexpected symptoms that concern you

If you are unsure whether a symptom is expected following your treatment, please contact the clinic for guidance.

Seek urgent medical attention for difficulty breathing, severe difficulty swallowing, or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.
