Lip Filler
Pre-Procedure:
-
To have the best chance of avoiding bruising during the procedure, abstaining from the use of alcohol and anti-inflammatories (like ibuprofen) for 1 week prior to the procedure is best.
-
Supplementing with arnica and/or antihistamines before the procedure can be beneficial for bruising & swelling.
-
-
Coming with a clean face is always preferred, but we understand this is not always possible.
What to Expect:
-
You will be numbed with a topical numbing agent for 30 minutes prior to procedure to ensure you will be comfortable the entire time.
-
Procedure then takes 15-30 mins.
-
Directly after procedure you may have any of the following:
-
Bruising
-
Swelling (usually mild right after)
-
Redness & irritation due to numbing
-
-
Swelling usually lasts 24-48 hours, any bruising can be patient dependent.
-
You should not be in pain after lip filler, only mild tenderness.
-
Results can last 3-9 months.
-
If you received a baby lip, it is common that patients will get a baby lip every 4-12 months, patient dependent.
Post-Procedure:
-
Avoid exercise for 24 hours.
-
Use only the chapstick we give you, or any other lip product that is brand new, nothing that is old & used.
-
Avoid “using them” for 3-4 days (making out, or similar activities 🙂)
-
Avoid straws for 1 week (pro tip: minimize straw use for life)
-
Avoid smoking, smoking will always increase your risk for lip lines and filler migration.
-
Contact your provider if any swelling or bruising is concerning or if you experience any other symptoms or discomfort.
-
Wait at least 2 weeks before getting more lip filler.
