When Can I Eat After Lip Injections?

First check with your surgeon as they may have specific recommendations that are tailored to the way they injected.For my patients, I allow a soft diet for the first 24 hrs and then am open to them eating anything. Lip movements actually help distribute the product some so it is good to eat, speak and move the lips.Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

If your doctor gives a nerve block which leads to profoundly numb lips, it may be best to wait for you to resume sensation in your lips before eating to avoid dental trauma. Thank you. Dr Joseph

Hi there!I usually recommend refraining from food for a few hours post lips augmentation to allow time for local anaesthesia to wear off. Patients may be prone to biting there lip or tongue whist this is working. Soft diet initially then back to usual after around 24 hours. Hope this helps!Best wishes,Dr Rupert

After getting lip injections, it’s typically recommended to wait at least a few hours before eating or drinking to allow the injection site to settle. However, it’s best to follow your healthcare provider’s specific instructions, as they may have individual recommendations based on the type of filler used. In general, you should avoid hot or spicy foods and excessive movement of your lips immediately after the procedure to minimize swelling and potential complications.

There are no limitations about when or what to eat after lip injections.  The only thing to keep in mind is some physicians may numb your lips with either an injection or cream, if this is the case, you should avoid hot items so as to avoid burning yourself. The injection will last longer so you'd want to wait until you have feeling back.  If this was not done then you are all set.  The only thing I tell my patients to avoid that first day is wearing lipstick and high intensity exercise which can be resumed the next morning.
