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.

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.

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.
