Waiting at least 1-2 days before any heavier kissing is generally advised by plastic surgeons and dermatologists, as the filler settles and integrates with your lip tissue. The lips may be swollen or sore initially, so some women may not be in the mood to kiss or be afraid of kissing.
Although kissing won't ruin your results, it might feel painful. Plus, putting significant pressure on the lips can worsen side effects, such as bruising. In fact, the movement involved in pursing your lips alone can be uncomfortable at first.
For at least 2 days after lip fillers, you shouldn't engage in oral sex because it could put unwanted pressure on your lips, affecting your healing process. And since there are minor wounds after the treatment, the risk of STDs could be higher than usual. So, we recommend you wait.
Because your lips will retain their natural texture and softness a few days after injected, your fillers cannot be felt by you or your partner when kissing!
If you're wondering how long do lip fillers take to heal, most patients say the first day is the worst for lip swelling, especially in the morning. Following your lip filler treatment, any swelling should reduce within 2–3 days and be gone completely within 2 weeks.
The teachings of Islam are focused on developing inner beauty and not prioritising your outward physical appearance. Permanent physical changes, such as cosmetic enhancements and interventions are not permitted because they are seen as altering and changing the creation of Allah.
Generally speaking, 0.5 ml of lip filler will provide subtle but noticeable results to the lips, with an average increase in volume of around 5-10%. This amount of product also tends to be ideal for those looking for natural-looking results without too much fullness or volume added to their lips.
You are not allowed to smile for a few days after a lip filler. Facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, or frowning should have zero impact on your lip filler. It is actually better for you to smile and gently massage your lips, to help spread the product and produce a more natural end-result.
The lips and tongue contain a huge number of nerve endings, which trigger signals to the receptors in the brain. This is what causes the lip sensitivity you experience when having a smooch.
Waiting at least 1-2 days before any heavier kissing is generally advised by plastic surgeons and dermatologists, as the filler settles and integrates with your lip tissue.
Kissing can apply a lot of pressure to the lips and increase risk of infection (there is a lot of bacteria in the mouth!), so it is best to avoid kissing for 48–72 hours after getting lip filler treatment.
Your enhanced lips will still retain their natural softness and texture, and your partner won't be able to tell if any work has been done.
Yes, you can but it may be a bit tender and the kisses should be gentle! And in order to increase the longevity of your fillers, you should avoid touching the area for at least 2 days, so avoid wearing lipstick or applying lip balms.
Can I brush my teeth after lip fillers? It's okay to brush your teeth after fillers but you may experience some tenderness. Make sure to be very gentle when brushing your teeth and washing your face after fillers.
In conclusion, Vaseline or petroleum jelly should not be used after lip fillers. It can trap bacteria and debris in the skin's pores, interfere with the healing process, and cause allergic reactions and irritation.
Avoid using drinking straws or smoking for at least 24 hours, as well. Puckering or contracting your lips may disturb the lip filler, too. You should also avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours, as alcohol thins your blood, which can make bruising on your lips worse.
Caffeine and Coffee – Yes, unfortunately, the people's favourite beverage is off-limits for the first few days after treatment. Caffeine can cause swelling to worsen, as well as the hot burning sensation that is caused by the heat of the drink.
Based on how thin your lips are and how enhanced you want them to be, most patients will do well with 1-2 syringes of dermal filler to get the long term aesthetic goal that they want. 1 syringe has 1.0 cc of dermal filler, so most patients will look great after 1-2 cc of dermal filler.
Conversely, for those patients who want a subtle change, with hydrated/rejuvenated and slightly defined lips, 0.5ml overall is the right amount. But, if you want an instant plump of the lips and a fuller look, 1ml of lip filler is the best choice.
We would not usually recommend less than 1ml for an initial lip filler appointment to achieve noticeable-yet-natural-looking results.

While some may feel a little discomfort as the filler is injected into their lips, it does not usually cause pain severe enough to make them stop the procedure. In fact, most patients report feeling minimal or no pain at all during and after receiving their lip injections.
The most serious risk associated with dermal fillers is accidental injection into a blood vessel. Filler that enters a blood vessel can cause skin necrosis (death of tissue), stroke, or blindness.
