Pff.. 1 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Depends on how you react to be honest. Are you just having one area subcised?Its very unlikely that you will not have down time from subcision to be honest. Its the numbing injection that is the prob, as it causes swelling and bruising. Took me around 4 or 5 days for the swelling to go down and longer for the bruising to subside..but im not a fast healer.Not sure if the down time differs if your male of female but id say expect at 2 days at least for swelling to calm down. You could have the proceedure done on a Friday and then recooperate over the weekend.Note: subcision is permanant but you may need a few sessions depending on how deep your scar(s) is(are), Restylane lasts on average 6 months and is expensive.
