Dermal fillers are a cosmetic procedure involving injections to enhance lip volume and appearance. They typically consist of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that adds fullness. Following treatment, it's common to seek guidance on optimal lip filler aftercare, so we've compiled a list of useful tips and advice.

For Lip Filler️ procedures, the following recommendations are advised:

1. Stay Hydrated
Ensure you maintain adequate hydration by consuming plenty of water and incorporating hydrating fruits and vegetables into your diet to aid in the healing process. Excess salt – it makes you dehydrated!

2. Anticipate changes in initial fullness
Post-treatment swelling following lip filler injections is entirely typical, so the size of your lips immediately after the procedure may not accurately represent the final outcome. Mild swelling can persist for several hours to a day or even longer, influenced by various factors.

3. Avoid strenuous exercise
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment. This precaution is necessary because heightened blood pressure and elevated heart rate can exacerbate swelling.

4. Avoid high temperatures
Avoid saunas and steam rooms for up to 2 days. because high temperatures may exacerbate the swelling.

5. Sleep in an appropriate position
It is recommended that sleep with your head elevated using pillows and avoid sleeping directly on your face. The way you sleep in the first few days after lip filler can significantly influence the healing process and the outcome.

6. Plan ahead
If it is your first time getting a lip filler ahead of a significant occasion, it is recommended to do it 4-6 weeks before the event.

7. Keep it cool
Utilize an ice pack or cold compress to minimize any post-treatment swelling and discomfort.
