How to Deflate Lips After Injections

How to Deflate Lips After Injections

Coralie Techer

After a lip injection, it is common for your lips to be swollen and sore for a few days. To soothe lip swelling, here are some tips that can help!

To have a luscious mouth, it is not uncommon to resort to lip injections . This cosmetic surgery procedure aims to dispense hyaluronic acid or collagen (for the most common injections) into the lips using a syringe in order to plump up their appearance.

Very effective for people who are self-conscious about naturally thin lips and for whom plumping lip balms are not enough, lip injection sessions should nevertheless be taken seriously and the choice of practitioner is essential for a clean and healthy result! Since injections act as an invasive action (foreign body) on an extremely fragile part of the body (usually the upper lip), it is not uncommon to have significant swelling of the lips following the operation. It should be noted, however, that this is generally a painless operation that is performed under local anesthesia (anesthetic cream) and does not require any social exclusion.

Collagen injections

Collagen is a natural protein found in the skin that helps maintain its firmness and elasticity. In aesthetic medicine, this filler called collagen injections can help increase the volume of the lips and improve their appearance. Collagen is also a good way to fight the signs of aging of the skin!

Besides hyaluronic acid and collagen there are other types of injections, which are:

Fat injections

Lip fat injections use fat taken from other parts of the body to increase lip volume. This method is less common than hyaluronic acid or collagen injections.

Permanent filler injections

These injections use permanent fillers to increase lip volume. This method is less common because permanent fillers can cause long-term problems, such as irregularities and granulomas.

Please note, it is important to discuss lip injection options with a qualified healthcare professional to determine which method is best suited to your needs and aesthetic goals!
