How to Reduce Swelling after Lip Filler

1. Apply ice or cold packs to the treated area immediately after the procedure to help reduce swelling. Make sure to wrap the ice pack in a cloth to prevent direct contact with the skin.
2. Elevate your head while sleeping to help reduce swelling. Try using an extra pillow to keep your head elevated.
3. Avoid touching or pressing on the treated area for the first 24 hours after the procedure to prevent further swelling.
4. Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may increase blood flow to the lips for at least 24-48 hours after the procedure.
5. Avoid hot and spicy foods and drinks as they can increase swelling in the lips. Stick to cold or room temperature foods and drinks instead.
6. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to help flush out any excess fluids and reduce swelling.
7. Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption as they can increase inflammation and delay healing.
8. Follow any post-care instructions provided by your injector, including using recommended topical creams or taking prescribed medications to help reduce swelling.
9. If the swelling persists or worsens, contact your injector for further guidance and evaluation.
