Lip Filler After Care

By Ramtin Kassir, M.D.

Congratulations! You’ve done it! You’ve gotten your lip fillers. Now its time to take care for your lips!

Lip filler aftercare tip #1: Don’t expect fullness to stay the same.

• Swelling after your lip filler treatment is completely normal and the size of your lips immediately after treatment is not a true reflection of the final result.
• Minor swelling can last between a few hours or one to two days.

Lip filler aftercare #2: How to reduce the swelling after lip fillers.

• Apply ice to treated area
• Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water.
• Focus on eating healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables. The vitamins and minerals will assist with the healing process.

Lip filler aftercare tip #3: Leave plenty of time for injectables prior to a big event.

• It’s always best to start a new treatment well before a big event. We recommend that you allow a few weeks for your cosmetic injectable treatment to settle.

What to avoid

• Avoid strenuous exercise and extreme hot temperatures for 24-48 hours post treatment.
• Avoid processed foods or fast foods.
• Heavy activity or exercise for the first two days after treatment
• Spicy foods
• Blood-thinning medications, including aspirin and ibuprofen (unless prescribed by your medical practitioner then please continue with these)
• Smoking and smoke exposure If you want to know more or try lip fillers out for yourself call or write us.
