Botox and filler post-procedure follow-up plan
Medical reviewer: Dr. Hamza Gemici ·
A Botox and filler follow-up plan separates expected redness, tenderness, bruising and swelling from warning signs; records product name, dose, lot and treated areas; gives the patient a contact route; and schedules Botox symmetry review around day 10-14 when appropriate. Severe pain, blanching, blue-grey discoloration, visual symptoms, fever, discharge, breathing, swallowing or speaking difficulty, or generalized muscle weakness should not wait for a routine review. This is educational triage information, not remote diagnosis.
