What to Avoid Before & After Lip Filler Treatment

3 July 2025

Preparation = Better Results

To achieve the best and longest-lasting results from your lip filler, proper preparation and aftercare are key. Here’s a list of things you should avoid before and after the treatment.

❌ Before the Treatment: Avoid

Proper preparation is crucial before a lip filler procedure. Here are some things to avoid 1-3 days before treatment.

  1. Blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) – 3 days prior
  2. Alcohol consumption – at least 24 hours before
  3. Active skincare ingredients around lips (AHA/BHA/retinol)
  4. Exfoliative treatment (ablative laser or chemical peel) around the lip area – 2–3 days before

❌ After the Treatment: Don’t Do This

After filler treatment, there are several important restrictions to ensure the healing process runs smoothly and the results look natural:

  1. Do not press or massage the lips
  2. Avoid makeup or lipstick for 24 hours
  3. Avoid spicy or hot food on the first day
  4. No heavy workouts or sauna for 1–2 days
  5. Avoid dental treatments for the first week

✔️ Extra Tips

To minimize swelling and bruising:

  • Light cold compress can reduce swelling
  • Sleep with your head elevated
  • Stay hydrated & get enough sleep
  • Don’t panic — mild swelling is normal!

✔️ When to Call a Doctor

Contact a clinic immediately if you experience:

  • Severe pain or worsening swelling
  • Plain, dark, or bluish lips
  • Symptoms of infection, such as fever, pus, or a burning sensation
