Lip Filler Aftercare – Quick FAQ
Q: How long will swelling last?
A: Swelling is normal and usually peaks within 24–48 hours, then gradually improves over 3–5 days. Mild swelling can last up to a week.
Q: Can I ice my lips?
A: Yes. Apply a cold compress gently for 10–15 minutes at a time during the first 1-2 hours to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Q: What should I avoid after treatment?
A: Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, excessive heat (saunas, hot showers), and touching or massaging the lips for at least 24 hours unless instructed otherwise.
Q: Can I wear lipstick or makeup?
A: It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying lip products to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
Q: Is bruising normal?
A: Yes, minor bruising can occur and usually resolves within a few days. Arnica or bromelain may help reduce bruising.
Q: When can I expect final results?
A: Once swelling subsides, results are typically visible within 1–2 weeks.
Q: What if I notice lumps or unevenness?
A: Small lumps can be normal early on. If they persist beyond 1–2 weeks or worsen, contact your provider.
Q: When should I call my provider?
A: Reach out immediately if you experience severe pain, significant asymmetry or skin discoloration (white or dark patches).
Q: How can I make my results last longer?
A: Stay hydrated, avoid smoking (all pursing), direct pressure, biting your lips and follow your provider’s recommendations. Maintenance treatments are usually needed every 12-24 months.
