It is fine to go back to work after a couple of days of having injections

It is fine to go back to work after a couple of days. We recommend not going into a sauna or steam room for 48 hours after the injections and to stay out of the sun if there is any bruising.

Heat and sun exposure after lip augmentation

There is no issue with going back to work in the heat after injections to the lips. If it were, I and my patients would be miserable here in Florida (we're not).

Lip augmentation and sun exposure
