How do you ensure a quick recovery after lip fillers?

At FillerHouse, we offer the popular lip filler treatments in 0.5 ml, 1 ml, and 1.5 ml options. To help you enjoy your new, personalized look as quickly as possible, it’s essential to care for your lips properly after treatment. Below, we’ve shared practical tips and advice for a smooth recovery and optimal results.

What to expect after a lip filler treatment

Immediately after your lip filler treatment at our clinic in Dordrecht, you’ll notice fuller, more defined lips. Some redness and swelling may occur, but this is temporary and part of the natural healing process.

Minimizing swelling and bruising

Swelling and bruising are natural parts of the healing process, but they’re often the biggest concerns after lip filler treatment. Fortunately, there are several ways to keep these effects to a minimum:

• Cool compress: Regularly apply a cold compress to your lips during the first 24 hours post-treatment. This helps to reduce swelling and prevent bruising.
• Take it easy: Intense exercise and heavy physical activity can make swelling worse. So, for the first few days, you have a great reason to relax and take it easy!
• Elevated sleeping: Try to sleep with your head slightly elevated on the first night, using an extra pillow if needed. This can help reduce swelling.

What to avoid after lip fillers

• Avoid alcohol and smoking: Smoking and drinking alcohol can slow down the healing process, which may cause bruising and swelling to last longer.
• Stay out of the sun: For the first week after your lip filler treatment, it’s best to avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds. UV rays can cause the fillers to break down more quickly, something you definitely want to avoid!
• Don’t touch or massage: Refrain from touching or massaging your lips, as this can cause the filler to shift and may slow down the healing process.

Your lip filler results

After just a few days, any swelling or bruising will fade, and you’ll be ready to show off your beautiful new look! Many FillerHouse clients choose to repeat their treatment every 6 to 12 months to maintain their full, stunning lips.
