Working out after lip fillers?

It's generally advisable to avoid vigorous exercise and activities that may increase blood flow to the treated area for the first 24-48 hours after getting lip fillers. This helps minimize swelling and potential complications.

Best of luck !

Hello, my name is Lauren, and I’m the aesthetics injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. After receiving lip filler, it's typically recommended to avoid intense physical activity for at least 24 to 48 hours to minimize the risk of swelling or bruising. If you have any concerns or questions following your treatment, it’s always best to consult with your provider for personalized advice!

It’s generally recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24-48 hours after getting lip fillers, even if you only received a small amount. Exercise increases blood flow and can potentially cause more swelling, bruising, or filler migration in the treatment area.

If you do decide to work out after 24 hours, it’s best to:

Stick to light, low-impact activities (like walking).
Avoid exercises that increase your heart rate significantly or involve bending over.
To be safe, it's a good idea to consult with your injector to confirm when it’s best to resume your workout routine.

Every physician has their own preference, mainly based on personal experience. For areas that swell a great deal like lips or tear troughs, I prefer exercise after 48hrs. Similarly, if someone is clearly looking like they'll get a bruise, or is on blood thinners (ASA, ibuprofen, anticoagulants, alcohol, etc), I also prefer 48hrs. Otherwise, I feel that exercise after 24hrs is generally fine. With botulinum toxins, I'm ok for patients to exercise after 4hrs.

Hello, after lip augmentation, we impose a restriction on makeup and showers for only 24 hours. After one day, you can enjoy sports and take a shower. I only recommend avoiding very hot beverages because drinks like tea, coffee, and hot soup can prolong swelling.
