Let’s Learn How to Manage Swelling and Precautions After Lip Filler Injection

Lips have a huge impact on facial expression and appearance.

So if someone has very thin lip lines,

or the corners of the mouth are drooping downward,

they may start considering ways to improve the shape of their lips.

But even just looking at celebrities, there are many cases where excessive lip filler makes them look awkward,

or where an artificial shape ends up leaving a negative impression instead,

and it is also common for people to hesitate about the procedure itself because of the injection method or recovery management.

Are lip fillers really only awkward and ineffective?

Using genuine fillers in the proper amount

Using genuine fillers that can be dissolved

And

1:1 customized treatment that considers lip shape, thickness, degree of protrusion, symmetry, and proportions

If this is done, lip fillers can help improve a dark-looking impression and negative image.

How are lip fillers performed?

In the case of lip filler treatment, the filler is injected directly into the lips to change their shape.

Filler treatment involves injecting a filling substance similar to components found in the body, such as hyaluronic acid,

into areas that are deeply hollowed out or lack volume.

It makes it possible to quickly restore volume to sunken or flattened areas in a short time.

It can also maintain a natural look without being excessive.

Of course, if the result is not satisfactory, it can be dissolved and the treatment can be performed again.

However, the type of filler differs depending on the area where it is injected,

and because the ingredients, functions, effects, duration, and price differ by filler, it should be carefully reviewed before treatment.

In the case of lip fillers, for about 2–3 days after the procedure, swelling may remain and the lips may feel a bit larger than the desired shape.

Usually, if there is no bruising, there is not much swelling, so there is no need to worry too much.

Lip fillers are different from surgery that requires insertion of an implant.

The procedure is performed by injecting hyaluronic acid, one of the components of the skin.

Because fillers are used, the effect is immediate, and the volume and shape can be adjusted more naturally.

With about 10 minutes of time, the shape of the lips can be improved.

Because it is a simple procedure performed with topical anesthetic ointment, there is no need for hospitalization,

and follow-up visits for treatment are not necessary either. You can return to daily life right away.

What precautions should be taken during lip filler treatment?

Of course, there are things to be careful about.

This is because injecting too much filler for excessive volume,

or undergoing procedures too frequently, can distort the shape or cause side effects.

The lips can cause major changes in appearance with even slight differences in volume.

Therefore, delicate volume adjustment is absolutely necessary.

Having lips that are too thick,

having a bumpy shape,

or ending up with asymmetrical lips

are often the result of failing to control the amount of filler properly.

That is why, before treatment, enough consideration must be given to the shape and amount appropriate for each individual, and accurate injection is important.

In other words, the treatment should be performed with careful consideration of the skin condition of the lip area, the desired degree of volume,

and even the natural line, in order to increase satisfaction.

Swelling management and precautions after lip filler treatment

Because the lips have very thin skin and a large number of blood vessels pass through them,

they are relatively high-risk areas for pain, bleeding, bruising, and swelling.

Therefore, rather than looking for places that lure people in with low prices or big discount events,

it is safer to choose a plastic surgery clinic where skilled medical staff with extensive experience in semi-permanent filler procedures are on site.

In this way, treatment should be performed by medical staff with abundant anatomical knowledge and a high understanding of the skin and blood vessels,

as well as rich experience and many cases, so that possible side effects can also be avoided.

Management is also important.

It is recommended to avoid washing your face within 3 hours after lip filler treatment.

Makeup should also be applied gently, as if lightly rubbing it on.

It is also important to avoid putting pressure on the lips, which are the area that received the filler treatment.

It is better not to sleep face down so that the area is not pressed for a long time.

It is best to refrain from drinking alcohol, smoking, saunas, and jjimjilbangs for at least 3 days, or ideally about a week.

If redness, bruising, bleeding, itching, or swelling occurs, do not be too alarmed.

In most cases, they disappear between 2 days and a week.
