Possible Side Effects

  • Redness

  • Swelling

  • Bruising

  • Rarely more serious complications have been reported and appropriate medical training and accreditation is critical with these treatments to prevent rare occurrences

Lip filler after care tips

  1. If you have bruising at the injection site, it may help to apply Bepanthan to your lips, which is an antiseptic cream.

  2. Apply ice to your lips afterward using an ice pack or an ice cube covered in a thin cloth (so it doesn’t stick to the lip and cause pain) to ease any discomfort

  3. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after you get lip or any other dermal fillers. Elevated blood pressure and heart rate from exercise may make swelling or bruising worse. Lght activity, such as walking is ok

  4. Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will help your body heal.

  5. Avoid high temperatures, like steam rooms, saunas, or heated exercise classes for 48 hours after treatment. High heat can make swelling more pronounced.

  6. Take pain relief as directed by your GP if required, but avoid blood thinning medications like ibuprofen and especially avoid aspirin.

  7. Be sure to leave time between the procedure and any special event to allow your lips to properly heal

  8. Avoid makeup on your lips for up to 24 hours after the procedure.
