Things You Need to Know Before & After Your Lip Filler Treatment

We Reveal our Top Tips For Minimising Lip Filler 'Downtime'

This is not an exhaustive list and a lot of what we’ve included is common sense but here is some insider info  gained from both ours and our clients’ experience of getting a bit of help to get that perfect pout! A lot of this lip filler advice would also apply to other dermal filler procedures too.

Before Your Lip Filler Procedure

  • To decrease risk of localised bruising be sure to stop taking anti-inflammatory supplements including Vitamin E and Omega 3. Your practitioner will also be on the look-out for any prescribed aspirin or similar medications which can make bruising more likely
  • If you are particularly prone to bruising you might like to use arnica tablets and/or cream (available over the counter) for a week or so before treatment and continue for a few days following
  • Ideally, if you can, plan to have the procedure early on during the day, to allow more time for things to settle well ahead of bedtime
  • It’s a good idea to avoid alcohol for 24 hours or so before and after – this makes sure you are optimally hydrated and helps you to heal quickly
  • Reschedule your procedure for another time if you have any active cold sores or feel the tingle of a flare-up coming on
  • Reschedule if you are unwell – you want your lip enhancement to be as enjoyable as possible and do not want your healing to be affected

Lip Fillers Aftercare

  • You should be prepared that you may wake up with a little more localised swelling the morning after your procedure. Rest assured, this is perfectly normal and will settle down over the course of the day once you are upright again. If you can bear it, you may find that sleeping propped up on an extra pillow or two will help minimise this swelling.
  • Avoid extreme temperatures to the mouth area – so no ice lollies or boiling hot cups of tea. The same goes for super spicy food, saunas and steam rooms – all of which cause flushing.
  • Apply a clean cold pack from the fridge (rather than anything from the freezer) if you can feel some swelling/sensitivity
  • If you really want to help send swelling on its way, e.g. ahead of an event, you can take non-drowsy antihistamine (available over the counter)
  • We invite our clients back for a review appointment to check how their lip filler treatment has settled – this may be around 1-2 weeks following. Factor this into your diary if you need.
  • Keep the area clean and dry. Do not massage the area unless advised by your practitioner.
  • You can apply non-irritating lip balm to keep your lips moisturised and healing nicely – just make sure your hands are clean when you apply it.
  • Avoid scheduling any dental procedures for at least a couple of weeks or so
Generally speaking, treat your lips gently with some TLC and you can't go wrong! Most people will find that once they had their lips treated a few times they feel more confident about what to expect afterwards.
