These activities can increase swelling and irritation.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the seven things to avoid after treatment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do Not Do Hard Exercise Right Away <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is better to skip intense workouts for 24 hours. If you have more swelling, wait longer before heavy activities. It can increase blood flow. This may make swelling and bruising worse. You can perform light activities if you feel comfortable.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avoid Too Much Heat Exposure on Your Lips<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do not expose your lips to a very hot environment for the first two days. Excess can increase swelling. Use normal warm water if you need to take a shower. If the lips are swollen, staying cool can improve recovery.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do not Rub or Press Your Lips<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your lips may feel strange after filler. This can make you want to touch the area. Try not to do so. Touching the lips or putting pressure on them can irritate the area. The injector may massage the lips after treatment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do Not Drink Alcohol<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Try to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours. Alcohol can increase bruising. It may also make swelling more noticeable. So, if you have a party or something planned, make sure to avoid drinking.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do not smoke<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stop smoking during the early recovery period. It can irritate the treated area. If your lips are sore or swollen, smoking may make them feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Skip Dental Treatment Right Away (If Any)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do not go for any dental work right after fillers. Your lips need time to settle after treatment. Dental procedures right away can increase infection risk.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do Not Judge Your Final Results Too Soon<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After fillers, lips may look uneven, not in the shape you wanted. This occurs due to swelling and bruising. The final results become noticeable after swelling reduces. Be patient and wait to see the final shape.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Should_You_Contact_Your_Injector\"><\/span>When Should You Contact Your Injector?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mild swelling and bruising are normal. If swelling does not reduce, contact your provider.
