Aftercare Tips and Instructions for Your Lip Filler Procedure with Restylane Kysse, RHA 3, or RHA 2

At Spirited Aesthetics and Wellness, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals with the best care and expertise. Now that you’ve had your lip filler procedure using Restylane Kysse, RHA 3, or RHA 2, it’s important to follow these aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.

Immediate Aftercare

1. Avoid Touching and Pressing:
   • Right after the procedure, your lips might feel tender and swollen. It’s crucial to avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the treated area. This helps to prevent any unintended movement of the filler.
2. Stay Upright:
   • Try to stay upright for at least four hours post-treatment. This helps to prevent any filler migration and allows the product to settle properly.
3. Hydration:
   • Keep your lips hydrated with a gentle, moisturizing lip balm. Avoid any products with harsh chemicals or irritants.

The First 24-48 Hours

1. Avoid Makeup:
   • Refrain from applying makeup on or around the treated area for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.
2. Stay Away from Heat:
   • Avoid hot environments such as saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers for the first 48 hours. Heat can exacerbate swelling and prolong the healing process.
3. Minimize Alcohol and Caffeine:
   • Alcohol and caffeine can increase swelling and bruising, so it’s best to avoid these for the first 24 hours after your procedure.
4. Gentle Cleansing:
   • Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser and pat dry with a soft towel. Be cautious around the lip area.

Ongoing Care and Tips

1. Avoid Strenuous Activities:
   • For the first 48 hours, avoid strenuous activities and exercise. Increased blood flow can exacerbate swelling and bruising.
2. Sleep Position:
   • Sleep with your head elevated on pillows for the first few nights to help reduce swelling.
3. Hydration and Diet:
   • Drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support your body’s healing process.
4. Avoid Smoking:
   • Smoking can impair healing and negatively impact the results of your lip fillers. It’s best to avoid smoking for at least 72 hours post-procedure.
5. Be Patient:
   • Swelling and bruising are common after lip filler procedures and can take a few days to subside. Final results will be visible once the swelling has fully gone down, typically within one to two weeks.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Recovery

To further enhance your recovery experience, consider incorporating some additional self-care practices. Gentle facial massages (avoiding the lip area) can improve overall blood circulation and aid in reducing swelling. Including antioxidant-rich foods in your diet, such as berries, green leafy vegetables, and nuts, can also support the healing process and boost your skin’s resilience. Staying away from excessive salt and sugar intake can prevent further swelling and help maintain your newly enhanced look. Always listen to your body and give yourself the time needed to heal fully. Remember, great results come with patience and proper care. Heather also suggests to use only a  clean lip balm or lip care product. Also if you have pain you can use Tylenol, Ibuprofen or Aspirin may cause bruising. Lastly, No sucking on straws or passionate kissing for two weeks.
