Lip filler tends to last around 6 to 18 months. This can vary depending on how your lips take to the filler and what type of look you wish to have. Most people like to get their lips topped up every 6 months to keep their lips looking rejuvenated for longer. Once the filler has been left in the lips for a long time, the body will start to break down the filler and the lips will gradually start to decrease in size. Topping up your lips doesn’t mean you need to have loads of filler. Adding a small amount to the corners and the cupids bow lifts the lips and creates a voluminous look.
Getting lip injections is extremely safe if it is done by a qualified team with years of experience. In this case, allergic reactions are very rare. When done by a professional there should be minimal discomfort as numbing cream is applied to keep the client pain-free.
Once the procedure is complete there may be some redness, swelling and potentially some minimal bruising to the lips but this should go down sometimes after the treatment.
To reduce the redness and swelling, the key is to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Avoid processed foods, fast food and foods with a high amount of salt as these types of foods can make a person dehydrated. Apply ice to the area of swelling to circulate blood to the lips. The ice can also help to numb any pain from the bruising.
