In case of a bruise at the injection site, you may apply aloe vera, vitamin K, arnica gel & pills. Apply ice to your lips afterward using an ice pack or an ice cube covered in a thin cloth (so it doesn’t stick to the lip and cause pain). This will help ease swelling, itching, bruising, and any other pain. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours after you get lip or any other dermal fillers. Elevated blood pressure and heart rate from exercise may make swelling or bruising worse. It’s fine to engage in light activity, like walking. Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will help your body heal. Try to avoid excess sodium, which may worsen swelling. Avoid high temperatures, like steam rooms, saunas, or heated exercise classes for 48 hours after treatment. High heat can make swelling more pronounced. Ask your doctor which pain medications are OK to take in the days after your treatment. Normally Tylenol will be fine, but not blood-thinning medications like ibuprofen or aspirin. If you’re getting lip fillers for a specific event, make sure to leave plenty of time in between the procedure and the event to allow your lips to properly recover. Try to sleep with your head elevated on pillows to reduce swelling. Do not sleep on your face. Avoid makeup on your lips for up to 24 hours after the procedure.
