1. Will the lip filler procedure be painful for mature patients? During the lip filler procedure, a topical numbing cream or local anesthesia is often applied to minimize discomfort. This helps ensure that mature patients experience minimal pain or sensitivity during the injections.
2. How can I manage post-treatment discomfort and swelling? To manage post-treatment discomfort and swelling, applying a cold compress to the lips for short intervals can be beneficial. This helps reduce swelling and provides relief from any minor discomfort.
3. Are there any medications I should avoid before the procedure? To minimize the risk of bruising, it’s advisable for mature patients to avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements before the lip filler procedure. However, always consult your healthcare provider before discontinuing any prescribed medications.
4. Can I continue with my regular lip care routine after the treatment? In the days following the treatment, treat your lips gently and avoid any strenuous activities or excessive pressure on the lips. Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area to allow for proper healing.
