Can I wear chapstick 12 hours after Juvederm lip injections?

Question

I got my lips done yesterday at 2pm today I wanted to apply chapstick, is it safe?

Scott Farber, MD, FACS · Answer

Wearing Chapstick 12 hours after lip injections should not be a problem unless stated otherwise by your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. In my practice I encourage patients to moisturize their lips with a Chapstick that contains SPF.

Lip fillers are a great way to increase volume, shape or improve fine lines around the mouth.  The swelling after lip fillers starts after a 4 hours and can last a few days.  It is important to ice and to apply lip moisturizers to reduce swelling and prevent chapping starting immediately after (even aquaphor or vasoline).  Chapstick is perfectly fine and recommended.  Best of luck.

Yes, you can wear chapstick, but you may have some swelling. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results after lip injections. Hope that helps.

Yes, Chapstick will help moisturize your lips which are prone to becoming very dry and chapped from the post-procedure swelling.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You can use lip balm or lipstick twelve hours after injection as long as there are no open areas.  Be sure to follow your injector's advice for optimal results.
