DOs:

1. Drink plenty of water. Keeping yourself hydrated aids your body’s healing process. However, avoid

using straws as they may apply pressure on the lips.

2. Apply ice to your lips after the treatment, at least during the first 48 hours, to ease swelling and

bruising. Wrap the ice pack or put the ice cubes in a cloth before applying.

3. Keep your lips clean, especially for the first 24‑48 hours after treatment, and wash your hands

before touching them to avoid any infection.

Don'ts:

1. Avoid putting lipstick or wearing any makeup on or near your lips for up to 24 hours.

2. Refrain from kissing for the next 48 hours to avoid pressure on your lips.

3. Don’t expose yourself to high temperatures, as this may escalate your swelling. Avoid taking hot

showers, saunas, steam, or heated exercise for at least 48 hours after treatment.

4. Do not massage or apply firm pressure on your lips, as this can increase the swelling and also

disperse the freshly injected filler.

Things to keep in mind after Lip Injection treatment

After getting lip injections, your lips may look overfilled or puffy at first due to swelling, but don’t

worry, this effect is temporary! Common short‑term side effects after a lip injection that you can

expect are swelling, bruising, pain or tenderness, itching, lumpiness, or numbness.

Applying an ice pack or ice cubes wrapped in a cloth gently on your lips can ease most of these side

effects. However, if you have significant pain or abnormal or excessive bruising on your lip area,

contact your doctor without further delay.
