I'm about to get lip fillers for the first time this Friday but the problem is I already made weekend plans out of town with my friends. We were going to celebrate my 23rd birthday and I am pretty sure there will be drinking involved. My apt. is Friday at 9:00 A.M and we won't arrive to our destination until Saturday around 10 P.M. Will I probably look ridiculously swollen and would this night cause more bruising and pain for me?
Answer: Birthday Lips After a lip augmentation, you will notice the plumping and fullness in your lips immediately. Swelling generally lasts about a day, with some people experiencing swelling and bruising up to three days after the injections. I always recommend applying ice frequently for the first 24 hours after the procedure. Bruising can occur post-injections, especially if you have a tendency to bruise, or are taking anything that thins your blood (such as Aspirin, fish oil, and of course alcohol). I would recommend waiting until after your event; you'll want to be able to enjoy it! Happy birthday!

Answer: Bad timing... I appreciate your concern.I think you should postpone your lip injections until after your birthday party. Don't forget to avoid alcohol 24 hours before the injection and aspirin and ibuprofen a whole week before the injections.Good luck. Dr. ALDO

Answer: Should I reschedule lip filler appointment? It sounds like it might be best to wait. There may be some swelling, which can vary. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising. Look for a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an expert in fillers.

Answer: Lip augmentation If you've never done your lips before, then best to reschedule as you don't know what to expect. But if you've done it before and you did well, then you can always ice more so then you normally would after the treatment and consider taking a Benadryl the night of the treatment as well. At the end of the day, you may still be a little sore Saturday night. The worse would be a bruise. SO option 1 would be better than option two.

Answer: Swelling after Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) It's difficult to predict the amount of swelling you may have. Swelling can last 1-2 weeks after your injections. I recommend injections with cannulas to limit swelling. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
