Lip Filler Aftercare Guidelines

Lip filler treatments enhance volume, improve symmetry, and define the lips using hyaluronic acid fillers for soft, natural looking results. Following the proper pre and post treatment instructions helps minimize swelling and bruising while supporting a comfortable recovery and beautiful outcome.

Pre-Care

If approved by your healthcare provider, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and alcohol for several days before treatment to help reduce bruising. Never discontinue prescription medications without medical guidance.

Schedule your treatment at least two weeks before weddings, vacations, or other special occasions to allow time for swelling to fully resolve and your results to settle.

Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores, recent dental work, allergies, or medications that may affect your treatment. Arrive with clean, makeup free skin whenever possible.

Post-Care

Apply a cool compress as directed during the first 24 to 48 hours. Mild swelling, tenderness, and bruising are expected and typically improve within several days. Keep your head slightly elevated while sleeping if swelling is present.

Do not massage, press, or excessively touch your lips unless instructed by your provider. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, hot tubs, saunas, and prolonged sun exposure for at least 24 to 48 hours.

Avoid lipstick or makeup on the lips for at least 24 hours. Refrain from facials, laser treatments, and chemical peels for about two weeks, or until your provider advises it is safe.

Keep Your Lips Looking Beautiful

Lip fillers gradually break down over time. Daily hydration, sun protection, and maintenance appointments help preserve soft, balanced, and natural looking results.
