What Can't You Do After Lip Filler

After receiving lip filler, it’s crucial to follow certain activity restrictions to minimize the risk of complications and ensure optimal results. These restrictions typically involve avoiding activities that could put excessive pressure or strain on the treated area.

Here are some common activity restrictions to be mindful of following lip filler:

**Strenuous Exercise:** Intense workouts, particularly those involving facial muscle exertion (e.g., running, weightlifting), should be avoided for at least 24-48 hours after treatment. The pressure and blood flow changes during exercise can potentially displace the filler.

Flying: Air travel involves cabin pressure changes that might affect the distribution of filler. It’s generally recommended to wait a few days before flying, especially for long-haul flights.

Facial Massages or Rubbing: Avoid massaging or rubbing your lips vigorously, as this can disrupt the filler placement and cause uneven results.

**Botox/Dermal Fillers to Other Areas:** While there’s no hard rule against combining treatments, it’s best to discuss with your provider if you plan to have Botox or other fillers applied to areas near your lips. There might be a waiting period to avoid complications.

Hot Baths and Saunas: Excessive heat can increase blood flow and potentially affect filler placement. It’s advisable to limit exposure to hot environments for a few days after treatment.

**Picking or Touching Lips:** Resist the urge to pick, poke, or excessively touch your lips. This can introduce bacteria, cause irritation, and disrupt the filler.

Drinking Through Straws: Sipping through straws creates suction that can pull on the filler, potentially leading to migration or distortion.

It’s important to follow your provider’s specific instructions carefully as they may vary based on individual factors and the type of filler used.
