Hyaluronic acid binds with water in the body to increase its volumizing effect. Therefore, it is crucial to keep your fluids up and stay hydrated while recovering. Drink at least two liters of water daily to get the best possible results from your lip injection.

Sleeping on your back while keeping the head slightly elevated is the safest position to sleep in after any cosmetic procedure. Use extra pillows to elevate your head slightly, and avoid sleeping on your front with your face down. This could worsen your swelling and cause discomfort.

It is advisable to apply a cold compress to your lips for at least 10-15 minutes several times a day after your lip filler procedure. Cold compression can slow down blood flow to the injection site. As a result, they help reduce swelling and bruising that may have occurred after your procedure. However, dont apply ice directly over the lips. This could lead to serious complications such as frostbite or cold burns.

Take it easy and give yourself ample time to recover from your treatment. While lip filler treatment has a minimal recovery period, it can take time for the filler to settle in. Sometimes, it can even take 3-4 weeks for the filler to settle. Therefore, be patient and make sure to strictly follow the post-procedural guidelines laid out by your doctor.
