Day 0: Lip Filler Treatment

It is normal to have some small swelling on your day after receiving the lip filler treatment. This initial swelling is primarily caused by the injections, which can create slight trauma to the lip tissue.

During this phase, your lips look slightly puffy, with some redness around the injection sites. 

Aftercare Tip: Place ice packs for 10-15 minutes to reduce swelling and pain.

Day 1: Peak Swelling

The swelling usually peaks within 24 to 48 hours after your lip filler treatment. During this period, you may notice your lips appear fuller than desired, but they can feel tender or sore. 

Don’t worry about this increased swelling too much, as it’s simply a part of healing.

Aftercare Tip: Keep using ice packs and elevate your head when sleeping. It’s also a good idea to avoid any strenuous activities.

Week 1-2: Gradual Improvement

As days pass by, you would see significant improvements with swelling. Over the first week or two, your lips will gradually begin to look quite natural and align with your expectations.

Any redness and tenderness should also improve so that you can do your daily activities confidently.

Week 2-4: Recovery

Most swelling should have diminished by the 2-4 weeks after your treatment.

At this point, you’ll start to see the final results of your lip filler treatment. Your lips will have settled into a natural, fuller look, and any residual swelling or tenderness should be minimal.

This timeline can help you guide the recovery process and set realistic expectations for how your lips will feel and look after filler treatment!
