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.
- Blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) – 3 days prior
- Alcohol consumption – at least 24 hours before
- Active skincare ingredients around lips (AHA/BHA/retinol)
- 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:
- Do not press or massage the lips
- Avoid makeup or lipstick for 24 hours
- Avoid spicy or hot food on the first day
- No heavy workouts or sauna for 1–2 days
- 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
