Precautions After Non-surgical Lip Lift

This treatment is designed to improve the proportion of the philtrum. Please review the following information to help the tissue settle properly.

I. Aftercare Guidelines

• Please do not pull or rub the upper lip downward.
• Stimulation in the opposite direction of the procedure may affect the shape and longevity of the results.
• From immediately after the procedure through the first 3 days, use cold compresses as needed.
• When doing so, do not press the upper lip downward. Instead, apply the compress lightly in an upward direction.
• If you have pain, you may take pain medication for 2 to 3 days.
• For 3 to 5 days, please sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated.
• For 1 to 2 weeks, please avoid saunas, steam rooms, bathing, alcohol, and smoking.
• For 4 weeks, please avoid facial massage, meridian massage, and any other strong stimulation.

II. Changes That May Occur During Recovery

• Swelling may last for 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the individual.
• Swelling and bruising may continue to increase until about 3 days after the procedure.
• You may feel some awkwardness when smiling or temporary discomfort with pronunciation, but this is usually part of the normal recovery process.
• You may notice some asymmetry between the left and right sides, but this often improves naturally as the swelling subsides.

III. When to Consult Your Medical Provider

• If pain gradually becomes worse
• If the skin turns pale or red
• If severe swelling, warmth, or unusual symptoms persist
• If you experience any of the above symptoms, please contact our clinic and visit for an evaluation.
