Quality lip injectables mimic the lips' texture once they heal. After a few weeks, patients find that they aren't noticeable at all. Patients will still be able to enjoy the sensations of kissing, and it won't be different from before. People (including your partner) will also not notice the difference either.
Once the swelling has resolved, lips after filler injections generally don't feel any different than they did before, not even when you're kissing. Lips are. Kissing won't feel so different, as countless people can attest to.
You can get a temporary loss of sensation with the injection that may last several hours. Following the lip filler injection you may be able to feel the filler in the lips but it should not effect anything significantly.
Can I kiss my partner after having fillers? Yes, you can but it may be a bit tender and the kisses should be gentle! And in order to increase the longevity of your fillers, you should avoid touching the area for at least 2 days, so avoid wearing lipstick or applying lip balms.
For at least 2 days after lip fillers, you shouldn't engage in oral sex because it could put unwanted pressure on your lips, affecting your healing process. And since there are minor wounds after the treatment, the risk of STDs could be higher than usual. So, we recommend you wait.
Still, while you can do some light movements with your lips (like smiling or giving a peck on the cheek), you shouldn't kiss aggressively for at least 72 hours after getting lip fillers. Kissing might also be uncomfortable since the lips could be swollen or tender at first.
This is because kissing can apply a lot of pressure to the lips and increase risk of infection due to the number of bacteria on lips. Therefore, it is best to avoid kissing for 48 hours afterwards – but that doesn't mean a soft peck isn't allowed!
don't use and exfoliating agent for 24 hours or any harsh cleaning brush. don't have a facial massage for at least two weeks. don't drink through a straw for the 1st day as this puts pressure on the lips. don't drink alcohol for at least 24 hours after you have had fillers.
The following tips will help your lips as they heal: Apply an ice pack for up to 10 minutes to reduce inflammation, pain and swelling. Avoid wearing lipstick, lip balm or any other product on your lips for at least 24 hours. Refrain from touching or puckering your lips, including kissing and sipping from a straw.
We recommend avoiding alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours after getting lip fillers. This is because of the same reasons mentioned above. The tiny needles used during lip augmentation minimise the impact on your skin, but they still cause small puncture wounds that the body needs to heal.
A glass of bubbly to toast your gorgeous results may be tempting, but alcohol is known for thinning the blood, which could actually lead to inflammation and both swelling and bruising. After having lip injections, it's a good idea to wait around 24 hours before drinking any alcohol.
Smoking after lip fillers will not affect the outcome of your treatment. However, smoking is known to dry out the skin and has been linked to premature ageing, so we would advise you refrain from smoking immediately post-procedure.
