Lip contouring – one of the most popular cosmetic procedures that allows you to make your lips more expressive, moisturized and attractive. However, to achieve the perfect result, it is important to properly care for your lips in the first days after the procedure. Let's look at what you absolutely cannot do after the fillers are injected and why it is so important.
🚫 1. Touch and massage your lips
🔴 Why is this dangerous?
After the filler injection, the lips may be slightly swollen and sensitive. Touching, rubbing, or massaging may cause uneven distribution of the product, resulting in asymmetry or the appearance of lumps.
✔️ What to do?
Leave your lips alone! The filler will evenly distribute itself over a few days.
🍔 2. Eat hot, spicy, salty and hard foods
🔴 Why is this dangerous?
Hot foods and drinks can increase swelling, and spicy and salty foods can cause irritation and dryness of the lips.
✔️ What to do?
For a few days after the procedure, it is better to eat bland, neutral-tasting food at room temperature.
🏋️♀️ 3. Exercise and visit the sauna
🔴 Why is this dangerous?
Physical exertion and high temperatures promote blood flow, which can increase swelling and accelerate the breakdown of the filler.
✔️ What to do?
Postpone exercise, saunas, and hot baths for at least 3-5 days after the procedure.
💄 4. Apply makeup
🔴 Why is this dangerous?
Lipsticks, glosses, and other products may contain bacteria that can trigger inflammation.
✔️ What to do?
Do not use makeup for the first 24 hours, and to moisturize your lips, it is better to use a fragrance-free hygienic balm.
🚬 5. Smoking and drinking alcohol
🔴 Why is this dangerous?
Alcohol dilates blood vessels, which can cause more swelling and bruising. Smoking, in turn, can negatively affect the healing process.
✔️ What to do?
Refrain from alcohol and smoking for at least 2-3 days after the procedure.
😴 6. Sleep with your face in the pillow
🔴 Why is this dangerous?
Pressure on the lips while sleeping can cause the filler to be unevenly distributed or even displaced.
✔️ What to do?
Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated to reduce swelling.
🛬 7. Fly on a plane immediately after the procedure
🔴 Why is this dangerous?
Pressure drops can cause increased swelling and discomfort.
✔️ What to do?
Plan your contouring surgery no later than 3-5 days before your flight.
