I am wondering how much post-op care you need after getting Juvederm Lip augmentations (assuming one syringe). I am wondering if you can go back to work and not look like a duck, or if you should take a few days out of site of the public eye while icing, massaging (as I have read some people do), etc.

Answer: Juvederm Lip Augmentations After-Care The overall severity of swelling and/or bruising depends on the patient. Generally, the swelling starts to subside after 24 hours of the Juvederm Lip augmentation. It is important to take proper post-op care while allowing time for the swelling to go down. I usually recommend icing the lips, no strenuous physical activity, avoiding salty foods and alcohol, and avoiding aspirin, as it can promote bruising. If you develop bruising, usually it will be easy to cover after 3 days.

Answer: Lip Augmentation After Care Dear CWPGirl,This is a great question! The short answer is that everyone is different, so it’s hard to predict with certainty exactly how much swelling one might have. But at least some amount of swelling is to be expected. Bruising is rare, but not impossible. In general, here’s what we suggest to our lip filler patients:-No gym or strenuous activity for the rest of the day-No alcohol that evening, avoid a salty meal-For that evening, sleep with an extra pillow to elevate the head and let gravity pull swelling down -Most importantly, ice (5 mins on, 5 mins off) for the remainder of the day-Take MEND Cosmetic (powder mixed into a smoothie) for at least 2 days prior and 2 days after lip augmentation [shop.mend.me/products/mend-cosmetic]-Avoid blood thinners (e.g. ibuprofen) for 3 days before and 3 days after treatment It would be rare that swelling would be significant enough to keep you away from work, but you could do the treatment on a Friday so that you’ll be fully recovered by Monday.Hope that helps!
