my first lip filler emoticons

Picture
Getting filler anywhere (lips, cheeks, chin, lower face, temples) for the first time is a learning adventure. It is common to regret dermal filler shortly after receiving it . Swelling and bruising may settle in asymmetrically causing an uneven appearance and even possible transient lumpiness.

Ways that you can make the experience more comfortable are: 
  1. Take arnica by mouth 1 week before and until bruising is resolved. Use Arnica gel or cream. Consider using Vitamin K cream before and after injection.
  2. Drink plenty of water.
  3. Refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol (24 hours before and after).
  4. Take Bromelain at time of injection to reduce swelling.
  5. Stop all herbals or things that make you bruise (Aleve, Ibuprofen, Advil, Aspirin, Motrin, Exedrin Migraine) for 1 week prior and for the evening after injection.
  6. Sleep elevated to help decrease swelling for 3 days after injection.
  7. Use cold compresses on the day of and up to 1 day after.
  8. Use heat on day 2 and after to speed healing.
  9. Don't wear make up immediately after. It is usually filled with organisms.
  10. Tell your Doctor about your concerns, so they can follow up with you.

At Skinwise, we will follow up and walk you through this time of newness and uncertainty. It may be your first time, but it's not ours!

Watch out for our (sister) blog on the anatomy of a bruise coming up!
