What are the dos and don’ts following lip filler treatment?
We recommend the following:
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or manipulating the injection area unless instructed otherwise.
- Refrain from sleeping on the treated area for the first 2 days after treatment for longer-lasting results.
- Sleep on your back or inquire about our Envy pillows.
- Minimize strenuous activity for 2 - 3 days.
- Consider discontinuing gum chewing, smoking, or vaping and avoiding straws.
- Hydrate by drinking 6 glasses of water in the first 48 hours to maintain skin hydration.
When would fillers NOT be recommended?
Understanding your medical history is crucial, as certain medications or allergies may affect the suitability of certain fillers. For example, if pregnant or breastfeeding, fillers should be avoided. Other scenarios might require a pre-care prescription from Dr. Jane, such as having a history of cold sores.
All decisions are made collaboratively during your complimentary consultation, prioritizing your overall health and well-being.
How will the amount of filler used be determined?
Firstly, your desired outcome and goals are discussed during consultation. Some people want a subtle change, while others may opt for a more dramatic look.
In addition, age can play a role. For example, someone who is more mature may have volume loss, which they want addressed.
