Do lip plumpers make lip fillers absorb faster or can you combine them?

Question

Do lip plumpers make lip filler disappear quicker or can you combine them? Because lip plumpers increase the blood flow to the lips and contain ingredients that "irritate" the lip like cinnamon i wonder if that makes the filler absorb quicker.

Hello, Thank you for your question. Lip plumper will Not cause your filler to dissolve or absorb quicker. We often recommend that you combine them. Our favorite is the duo from SkinMedica. It hydrated,smooths, and plumps! Good luck!

I am not aware of plumpers having any negative effect on filler use. In fact, they often help augment the effect. In general, lip filler may not last as long as filler in other areas of your face. The longevity may also be affected by how/where the filler is injected. Warm Regards.

Topical lip plumping products will have no effect on filler injections in the lip. Feel free to continue using these products knowing that they won't adversely effect your injections and may contribute to an improved cosmetic effect!
