How long does the lip filler procedure take?
The entire lip filler procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes, making it a quick and convenient treatment that can be done during a lunch break.
Will my lips feel different after getting filler?
Initially, your lips may feel slightly firmer or swollen due to the filler and mild inflammation. Once the filler settles, your lips will feel soft and natural.
Can I wear lipstick or lip balm after my treatment?
It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying any makeup or lip products to allow the injection sites to heal and minimize the risk of irritation or infection.
How soon can I eat or drink after lip filler?
You should wait at least one hour before eating or drinking, and avoid hot beverages for the rest of the day to prevent swelling and irritation.
What should I do if I experience lumps or unevenness?
Mild unevenness is normal during the first week as the filler settles. Gently massaging the area or waiting a few days can help. If concerns persist, a follow-up appointment may be needed.
Can I exercise after getting lip filler?
It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment to reduce swelling and bruising.
Are lip fillers reversible?
Yes, hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if necessary.
Can I combine lip filler with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine lip filler with other non-surgical treatments like BOTOX®, skin rejuvenation, or cheek fillers for a more balanced facial enhancement.
How do I maintain my lip filler results?
Scheduling touch-up appointments every 6-12 months, staying hydrated, and following proper aftercare can help prolong your results.
Is there a way to make lip fillers last longer?
While individual metabolism affects longevity, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and using quality skincare products can help extend your filler’s lifespan.
