– Caffeine – whether in food or drink form, could slow down the healing process as it can cause dehydration. – Salty & sugary foods – could cause you to excessively lick the lips, which could cause sensitivity or even infection.
AVOID: Alcohol, caffeine, niacin supplement, high-sodium foods, high sugar foods, refined carbohydrates (you may eat fruit), spicy foods, and cigarettes 24-48 hours after your treatment. AVOID: Vigorous exercise and sun and heat exposure for 3 days after treatment.
Reduce Caffeine
However, the caffeine-containing beverage is one of the most dehydrating drinks after alcohol. Consuming large amounts of coffee can result in quick dissolving of the lip fillers, so try to limit your caffeine intake to about 1 to 2 cups.
Avoid caffeine for about 24 hours before your procedure and avoid other foods or drinks that have a dehydrating tendency, as this could slow the healing process. It's a good idea to reduce your salt intake for a couple of days before your appointment, especially if you're getting dermal filler.
It's also worth avoiding hot beverages and excessive alcohol after your treatment. As dermal fillers contain an anaesthetic, your lips may still be slightly numb after the procedure and drinking anything too hot may scald your lips without you realising it.
Using a straw will put pressure on your new lip fillers and may cause some discomfort, since there will be swelling after the lip injections. Sucking on a straw may also be awkward to manage with swollen lips. All in all, it's best to drink water without a straw after treatment.
Drink Coffee
This is because coffee contains caffeine, which may trigger your blood pressure and increase the likelihood of bruising during the procedure.
Sun exposure speeds up the aging process on the skin and is one of the leading causes of wrinkles. Those UV rays can also cause certain fillers to break down faster and being absorbed by the body more quickly. To get the best results, use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplement, high-sodium foods, high sugar foods, refined carbohydrates, spicy foods, and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your treatment. (All of these factors may increase risk of bruising and swelling).
That is a very good question! No, drinking water will not enhance the amount of water that Juvederm absorbs and does not have the ability to increase the amount of volume you get with the filler. To get increased volume, you will need further filler injected.
You are not allowed to smile for a few days after a lip filler. Facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, or frowning should have zero impact on your lip filler. It is actually better for you to smile and gently massage your lips, to help spread the product and produce a more natural end-result.
Can you kiss just after getting lip fillers? Unfortunately, we recommend not kissing straight after getting lip fillers. 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.
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. don't exercise excessively for at least 24-hour is.
The lips will be slightly numb depending what technique your surgeon has used for numbing the lips prior to the cosmetic injection. In general lignocaine/lidocaine will last about 2-4 hours, so its best to avoid hot foods. You can eat and drink immediately if you can feel your lips and move them naturally.
Things such as avoiding exercise and alcohol for 24 hours after your treatment will help reduce the chance of swelling and bruising. Taking care of your lips from the very beginning will give them a better chance of looking good for longer.
Answer: This may be due to diminished swelling.
Keep in mind that swelling is a common side effect immediately following lip injections, so it is possible that what you're seeing is that swelling beginning to diminish.
The longevity of filler depends on many factors, like the type and amount, but, mostly, metabolic rate. Metabolism affects just how long filler lasts in each of our bodies, which is why your friend's lip filler might last longer than yours, or vice versa.
“It's customary to provide an 18 to 20 percent gratuity for any spa service, no matter if it's sugaring or a Biologique Recherche facial,” Angela Rosen, owner of Penelope & The Beauty Bar in Seattle and Daphne in New York City, tells Allure.
This will help the newly injected filler stay in place. Apply an ice pack or cold wash cloth for 5-10 minutes every 2 hours for the first day, then apply 1-2 times daily for 2 more days. DO NOT apply pressure (unless instructed by your physician.) Tylenol or extra strength Tylenol can be taken for discomfort.
Now for some of the finer points of lip filler after care. Use aquaphor as a lip gloss for the rest of the day to reduce risk of infection. Eating is fine, but minimize wiping or rubbing your lips. Avoid kissing, massaging, smoking, or drinking through a straw and only touch the mouth area gently.
Apply VitaMedica Arnica + K Cream to areas most affecting by bruising (around the mouth and under the eyes) for several days before filler and Botox injections. This product contains Arnica and Vitamin K and is available for purchase at Rejuvent or at RejuventSkinCare.com.
We conclude that caffeine, which is known to have antioxidant properties, impedes keratinocyte proliferation and migration, suggesting that it may have an inhibitory effect on wound healing and epithelialisation.
