Immediate Post-Injection PeriodFirst 24 Hours
Day 1-3
The immediate post-injection period following lip filler treatment typically lasts for the first 24 hours and encompasses days 1 to 3.
During this critical window, it’s crucial to prioritize minimizing swelling, bruising, and discomfort while allowing the filler to settle into its designated location.
Refrain from strenuous exercise during this time as it can increase blood flow, potentially leading to increased swelling and migration of the filler.
Gentle walking is usually permissible, but avoid activities that involve excessive facial movement or exertion.
Focus on maintaining hydration and eating a balanced diet to support healing and minimize inflammation.
Applying cold compresses can help reduce swelling and discomfort, while over-the-counter pain relievers may be used as directed by your injector.
Remember to follow all post-treatment instructions provided by your injector for optimal results and recovery.
Light to Moderate Exercise After FillerDays 3-7
Weeks 1-2
After receiving lip filler, it’s essential to take precautions regarding exercise. Engaging in strenuous activities can increase blood flow and potentially displace the filler.
During the first week after getting lip fillers (specifically days 3-7), it’s generally recommended to avoid any intense physical activity.
This includes:
- High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
- Heavy weightlifting
- Running or other high-impact activities
- Strenuous sports
Between weeks 1 and 2, you can gradually introduce light to moderate exercise into your routine.
Here are some examples of acceptable activities:
- Brisk walking
- Yoga (gentle poses)
- Swimming (avoiding vigorous strokes)
- Cycling (at a moderate pace)
