How Long Must I Wait to Get Lip Fillers After Permanent Lip Liner?

you want to wait 2 weeks after you do your permanent lip liner before you do lip fillers so as not to  get infections and to be able to see just were the liner settles down at.  Sincerely,

David Hansen,MD

Your wait is not long at all.  I would usually suggest waiting about a week to ten days to allow any swelling associated with the permanent makeup application to subside.  Swelling from this procedure can obscure the shape of your lips, and might not allow for the most optimal augmentation.  Once all swelling is resolved the lips can be enhanced by a number of techniques including free fat transfer, artificial filler, or implants.  My suggestion is free fat transfer, which maintains the natural look and feel of the lips, with more permanence than artificial fillers.  Good Luck, Dr. Corrado

Dear BBlaine from Los Angeles, CA
The usual wait for lip augmentation after lip liner is about one week. Your want to allow swelling associated with the liner to subside. What type of material is going to be used to enhance your lips? Sincerely, Dr. Kevin Sadati
 

We recommend that patients wait until the lips are healed, peeled and the swelling has dissipated before having any fillers added, which usually takes 7-10 days but may be up to 2 weeks.  Permanent makeup and fillers are an excellent combination for beautiful, well defined, youthful looking lips.

I'd recommend you wait a week to let your lips heal after your permanent liner before you get filler.  By then, all the swelling from your liner procedure will be resolved and you will be able to see the final result from your liner.  That way, it will be easier to more accurately assess how to place your filler and also prevent any infections.
