It is advisable to wait until the effects of the topical anesthetic have subsided before consuming food or beverages. This precaution helps prevent accidentally biting the lips, which could disturb the filler. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid messy foods that may require wiping the face or lips for at least 24 hours. First 24 hours: refrain from drinking out of a straw, smoking, puckering, or excessive motion with the lips, as these actions may disrupt the lip filler. In addition, it is recommended to refrain from consuming alcohol for a minimum of 24 hours as it can thin the blood and potentially worsen bruising on the lips.
