Is there any downtime with lip fillers and when can I return to work? The procedure doesn’t require any recovery time, and you can return to work the same day. You may experience a bit of swelling, tenderness, and possible bruising afterward, but if that does not bother you, you can return to work immediately after your treatment.
Are lip fillers safe? Lip fillers are a relatively safe procedure when consulted and treated by an experienced registered nurse. Prior to choosing your injector do your research. Ask questions and ask for qualifications. Go on recommendations. Always have a consultation first and then think about it for a few days. As with any procedure that involves needles there are always some risks involved. Apart from potential swelling and bruising there is also a small chance of side effects such as filler migration, infections, allergic reactions and lumps. All potential risks and side effects will be discussed with you in the consultation process.
How long does lip fillers last? The fillers last on average 6-12 months or sometimes longer, depending on the type of product. It all depends on each individual's lifestyle and metabolism. Factors such as smoking and alcohol affect the longevity of the filler, and it will break down quicker. Staying hydrated can prolong the longevity of the lip filler as they thrive on water. At the start of your lip journey, you may require more frequent top-ups to achieve and maintain the desired look.
What should I think of prior to? Avoid blood-thinning painkillers such as aspirin or ibuprofen for 48 hours before treatment. Do not stop any blood-thinning medications that your doctor has prescribed. If you have a history of cold sores, there is a risk of them flaring up. Talk to your pharmacist, as there are tablets that you can take preventatively.
What is the aftercare? By icing the lips, you can reduce the swelling. We also advise not consuming alcohol, performing excessive exercise, or exposing yourself to extreme heat such as saunas, as this can also affect the swelling. No international or long-haul flights should be planned 1 week after the procedure, as the cabin pressure can affect the lip fillers. Staying hydrated by drinking lots of water will prolong the longevity of your lip fillers. We advise sleeping on your back on the day of the treatment to minimize the risk of filler migration.
I am turning 18 next month and would like to have my lips done prior to the party. We don’t treat patients under the age of 18 for any reason. We may ask for ID to identify you.
Can I have lip fillers done if I am pregnant or breastfeeding? Pregnant or lactating women are not suitable for this treatment and will not be treated.
Preparing for a lip filler treatment may help contribute to a smoother procedure and potentially better results. Here are some steps you might consider:
Consultation: It might be beneficial to book a consultation with a qualified aesthetic practitioner. During this session, you could discuss your aesthetic goals and any medical history that might impact the treatment.
Stay Hydrated: Maintaining hydration is often suggested for healthier skin, so you may want to ensure you drink plenty of water before your treatment.
Skin Care: You might consider avoiding any harsh skin treatments or chemical peels at least a week before your session. Having healthy, unirritated skin at the time of the treatment could be beneficial.
Food and Drink: It could be helpful to avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment as it might reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.

After receiving lip injections, you might experience some swelling, bruising and redness around the injection sites. These symptoms can be generally mild and should subside within a few days. Here’s what you can expect in the days following your treatment:
Ice Your Lips: You can apply an ice pack to your lips to reduce swelling. Do this intermittently for the first 24 hours.
Avoid Intense Activities: For the first 24-48 hours, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and high temperatures to prevent additional swelling.
Stay Hydrated: Continue to drink plenty of water to help your body heal and maintain the filler’s appearance.
Follow-up Care: Follow any personalised aftercare instructions provided by your aesthetician, including when to schedule a follow-up appointment to assess the results once the swelling has subsided.
These guidelines aim to help you achieve the best possible results from your lip injections. Always follow the specific aftercare and guidelines given by your clinician at time of treatment.
Proper aftercare can be important to maximise the benefits of your lip injections. Here are a few tips:
Gentle Cleansing: You can gently cleanse your face and lips without scrubbing. You may use a soft, fragrance-free cleanser.
Avoid Makeup: It’s advised to avoid applying lipstick or other lip products for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
Sun Protection: Protect your lips and face from excessive sun exposure by wearing a hat and using an SPF lip balm.
Adhering to these aftercare instructions can help facilitate the healing process and maintain the aesthetics of your lip filler treatment. Always follow the specific aftercare instructions and guidelines given by your clinician at time of treatment.
