Hello! I’m Dr. Laura Geige from It’s Me & You Clinic, where we specialise in delivering personalised aesthetic treatments designed to enhance natural beauty. If you’ve recently had lip fillers or are considering them, aftercare is essential to ensure your lips stay healthy, smooth, and beautifully enhanced. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps you need to take to maintain your results. If you’re ready for a personalised experience, book an appointment with me here.
Immediate Aftercare: The First 24 Hours
The first 24 hours after your lip filler treatment are crucial for optimal results. It’s normal to experience some mild swelling, redness, or tenderness. To minimise these effects, avoid touching your lips unnecessarily, and refrain from applying makeup directly to the treated area during this time. Applying a cold compress gently can help reduce swelling, but be careful not to press too hard.
Remember, hydration is key, so drink plenty of water. However, avoid hot beverages and alcohol, as these can increase swelling. If you want a tailored aftercare plan designed just for you, schedule your consultation with me.
Managing Swelling and Bruising
Swelling and minor bruising are common after lip filler treatments and typically subside within a few days. To help manage this, keep your head elevated when resting or sleeping. Avoid strenuous physical activity, as it can increase blood flow and exacerbate swelling. Ice packs can be used intermittently to soothe the area.
At It’s Me & You Clinic, I provide personalised advice on how to minimise these effects and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the recovery process. Want to learn more about how we care for our patients? Book your appointment today.
What to Avoid in the First Few Days
During the first 48 hours post-treatment, avoid exposure to extreme heat, such as hot baths, saunas, or sunbathing, as this can increase swelling. Steer clear of activities that put pressure on your lips, such as sleeping face down or excessive kissing. Additionally, refrain from using exfoliating or harsh skincare products around your lips.
Following these guidelines will help your lips settle beautifully. For more tips on maintaining your results, book a consultation with me.
Staying Hydrated and Moisturised
Keeping your lips hydrated is essential for maintaining a soft and smooth appearance. Drink plenty of water, and use a gentle, hydrating lip balm regularly. Avoid products with strong fragrances or harsh ingredients, as these can irritate the skin. A good moisturising routine will help prolong the life of your fillers.
At It’s Me & You Clinic, I can recommend the best products to use post-treatment. To discover the perfect aftercare regimen for you, schedule your appointment today.
Avoiding Pressure and Irritation
It’s important to avoid any unnecessary pressure on your lips during the healing process. Refrain from massaging or rubbing the area unless instructed otherwise. Activities like drinking through a straw or smoking should also be avoided, as they can disrupt the filler’s placement.
By following these precautions, you’ll allow the filler to settle evenly for the best possible results. For personalised advice and care, book your consultation.
Follow-Up Appointments and Monitoring
I always recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment a few weeks after your lip filler treatment. This allows me to assess your results, ensure the filler has settled correctly, and address any questions or concerns you may have. If any adjustments are needed, they can be made at this time.
At It’s Me & You Clinic, we prioritise patient satisfaction and offer ongoing support throughout your aesthetic journey. Ready to take the next step? Book your follow-up today.
Long-Term Maintenance for Lip Fillers
To keep your lips looking their best, it’s important to follow a consistent skincare routine and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Regular touch-ups every six to twelve months can help maintain volume and shape. Additionally, protecting your lips from the sun by using SPF lip products is essential to prevent premature ageing.
If you’re considering a touch-up or want to explore more aesthetic options, schedule your consultation at It’s Me & You Clinic.
