Lip augmentation with hyaluronic fillers is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Many girls want to change the shape and size of their lips, given how quickly and relatively affordable it can be done.
Lip size augmentation takes only 30-40 minutes, including time for preparation and anesthesia. However, there are strict rules to be followed after the injections so that the result is truly pleasing.
On average, rehabilitation after contouring takes two weeks. During this time, the filler takes its final shape, and swelling and bruising disappear.
In order not to interfere with this process, experts advise not to abuse spicy and salty foods, not to go to the bath or swimming pool, not to be long in the cold, as well as not drinking alcohol.
Ideally, you should observe these rules for two weeks. At the same time, it is considered most important not to do anything in the first 24 hours after injections, when the skin of the lips is particularly vulnerable.
What can happen if you neglect this rule? In fact, the same thing that happened to Morgan, whose photos made the rounds of the social networks. She got lip augmentation and then went to a party in the evening. Morgan says she didn’t have “much to drink,” but in the morning she saw it in the mirror.
Because of the alcohol Morgan got swelling, not only in the area of her mouth, but all over her face. The girl writes that at first it was painful even to open her eyes, not to mention the fact that she talked, drank or ate.
According to the American, after a few days the swelling went away, and her lips are fine. However, it’s safe to say she was lucky. Alcohol not only causes swelling in the injection area, but also increases the risk of large bruises on the injection site. Such bruises can dislodge the filler and cause a second visit to the cosmetologist because of complications.
