Yes, you can go out after lip augmentation. Remember you may still feel numb from the local anesthesia. Remember there may be some swelling or bruising, which can last 1-2 weeks after injection. Icing the area immediately after injection will help reduce swelling. Make certain that you refrain from eating or drinking items that are thermally too hot. Enjoy your night out!
Lips are delicate areas that tend to swell after injections. Overall, expect 1-2 weeks of swelling and the possibility of bruising after any injection. Having said that, there are ways to minimize swelling including, not overfilling, icing, and using cannulas for injections vs. sharp needles. In my experience, 3 hours is enough time between injections and enjoying a nice dinner with friends.In good health,Dr. Keel
