COMPREHENSIVE AFTERCARE GUIDE FOR VOLUME ENHANCEMENTS

Volume enhancements, such as lip and facial fillers, can provide stunning results when paired with proper care. To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, follow these pre-treatment and post-treatment care instructions carefully.

Pre-Treatment Care for Volume Enhancements

Preparing for your volume enhancement procedure is crucial for achieving the best results. Follow these steps before your appointment:

  • Cold Sores Prevention: If you are prone to cold sores, you must take antiviral tablets before your lip filler treatment to prevent outbreaks.
  • Consultation: Schedule a comprehensive consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history.
  • Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, or other blood-thinning medications at least 48 hours prior to your treatment.
  • Limit Alcohol Consumption: Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to minimise the risk of bruising and swelling.
  • Stay Hydrated: Ensure your skin is well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to the procedure.
  • Avoid Harsh Skincare Products: Cease using products containing active ingredients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, or exfoliants on the treatment area a few days before your procedure.

Post-Treatment Care for Volume Enhancements

Post-treatment care plays a vital role in your recovery and achieving the desired results. Follow these instructions for optimal outcomes:

Immediate Aftercare

  • Avoid Touching the Area: Do not touch, massage, or rub the treated areas for 24 hours post-treatment.
  • No Skin Treatments or Injectables: Avoid additional treatments, such as fillers or anti-wrinkle injections, for at least two weeks.
  • Use Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to the treated areas in 10-15 minute intervals to minimise swelling and discomfort.
  • No Makeup for 24 Hours: Avoid applying makeup for 24 hours. Use only recommended products, such as arnica oil or Bepanthen, on the lips during this time.

Ongoing Aftercare

  • Daily Massage After One Week: Starting one week post-treatment, gently massage the area in the shower for 2-3 minutes daily for seven days to ensure smooth results.
  • Bruising and Swelling: Bruising and swelling are normal. Avoid alcohol while swelling persists. Apply arnica oil 2-3 times a day to reduce bruising.
  • Sun Protection: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight and avoid solariums or direct sun exposure entirely. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen for added protection.
  • Avoid Heat: Steer clear of saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
  • No Strenuous Activities: Refrain from intense exercise, such as running, lifting, or yoga, for 24-48 hours after treatment.

Monitoring Your Recovery and Follow-Up Care

What to Expect:

  • Swelling may increase significantly post-treatment, so diligent aftercare is essential for managing common side effects like bruising, bumps, and asymmetry.
  • Dryness or uneven results may occur during the swelling phase. Use our recommended post-lip treatment products to alleviate dryness and support healing.

When to Contact Us:

  • Monitor for unusual symptoms such as severe swelling, redness, or pus. Contact us immediately if you are concerned.
  • In case of an emergency, such as vascular occlusion or infection, contact Nurse Taliha directly via the clinic phone number or WhatsApp (+61433213990).

Follow-Up and Reviews:

  • Results typically settle within 5-10 days, but final results are best reviewed at 4-6 weeks.
  • Book a complimentary review online through our booking system.
  • Schedule your next appointment to maintain your results as recommended.
