After your treatment, you might notice some swelling, tenderness, or minor bruising around the injection site. These side effects are completely normal and typically subside within a few days. To help manage these symptoms:

• Ice the Area: Apply a clean, cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a cloth for 10–15 minutes at a time to reduce swelling.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body heal and keep your lips hydrated from within.
• Avoid Touching Your Lips: Resist the urge to massage or press on your lips unless instructed by your provider. This helps the filler settle evenly.

To ensure optimal results and a smooth healing process, avoid these common activities for the first couple of days:

1. Excessive Heat: Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, or hot showers, as heat can increase swelling.
2. Strenuous Exercise: High-intensity workouts can raise blood pressure, leading to more bruising or swelling. Light activities like walking are fine.
3. Alcohol and Smoking: Alcohol and smoking can slow down the healing process and exacerbate bruising.
4. Makeup: Avoid applying lipstick or lip gloss to prevent irritation or infection.

Your lips will likely look swollen immediately after the treatment, but don’t worry—this is temporary. Most swelling subsides within 3–5 days, and you’ll see your final results within about two weeks.

Remember that lip fillers settle over time. If you’re unsure about your results at first, give your lips time to adjust.

While complications are rare, it’s important to monitor your lips during recovery. Contact your provider immediately if you experience:

• Severe or worsening pain.
• Significant asymmetry that doesn’t improve after swelling subsides.
• Signs of infection, such as redness, warmth, or discharge at the injection site.
