Lip Filler, What to expect after treatment

Lip Filler post-procedure

Here are some common experiences and considerations:

1. Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising are common after your lip filler injections by Angie’s Injections. The degree of swelling and bruising can vary from person to person and depends on factors such as the individual’s sensitivity, the type of filler used, and the injection technique. Swelling typically peaks within the first 24 to 48 hours and gradually subsides over the next few days to a week. Bruising may also occur but usually resolves within a similar timeframe. Though not typical, swelling can be significant. Allow up to 5 days for the swelling to go down in these instances.
2. Tenderness and Sensitivity: Your lips will feel tender and sensitive to touch immediately after the procedure and during the initial recovery period. This tenderness usually diminishes as swelling decreases.
3. Redness and Discomfort: Redness occurs around the injection sites and should resolve within a few days. Minor discomfort or soreness at the injection sites may also be experienced, but it typically improves with time.
4. Results: Initially, the lips may appear fuller than the final desired outcome due to swelling. It may take a few days for the swelling to subside and for the filler to settle into its final position. You can expect to see the full results of the lip filler treatment within one to two weeks after the procedure.
5. Follow-Up Care: You should follow any post-procedure instructions provided by Angie’s Injections, which includes avoiding certain activities such as vigorous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and touching or pressing on the lips. You may apply ice packs or use over-the-counter pain relievers to help manage swelling and discomfort.
6. Long-Term Results: The duration of your lip filler results varies depending on factors such as the type of filler used and individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last between six months to one year, although some clients may experience longer-lasting results. To maintain the desired lip volume, patients may need periodic touch-up treatments.
7. Potential Complications: Infection, allergic reactions, lumps, asymmetry, or migration of the filler material can occur. Contact us immediately if you experience severe or prolonged swelling, pain, or other concerning symptoms after lip filler injections.

Overall, most individuals experience minimal discomfort and are able to resume their normal activities shortly after receiving lip filler injections. However, it’s essential to follow the guidance of a qualified practitioner and to communicate any concerns or unexpected symptoms during the recovery period.
