Lip Fillers Perth

How much do dermal lip fillers cost at Ocean Cosmetics?

Preparing for lip injections

Before your lip filler treatment appointment, your injector will outline any important preparation instructions to follow. Your health and lifestyle factors will be considered to put any preparation steps in place.

You may be instructed to stop taking certain medications that can potentially cause delayed healing, which can lead to side effects and complications post-treatment. This can include blood-thinning medications, which can also increase the chance of experiencing excessive bleeding during the treatment. You may also be instructed to stop smoking to support your body’s healing process. To give yourself an even better chance of achieving the best results, you should also avoid consuming alcohol before the treatment session.

It would be best if you arrived at your appointment makeup-free, and we also recommend you apply numbing cream 15 minutes before your appointment. Numbing cream can be purchased at any pharmacy.

Aftercare for lip fillers

While downtime for lip fillers is relatively minimal, it is essential to ensure that you are taking care of the treated area and setting yourself up for success in terms of seeing the best results possible.

It is normal to experience minor swelling and bruising. These side effects should subside after two to five days and can be managed with a gentle cold compress or bruise treatment cream. Since swelling and bruising can be present after the treatment, we recommend scheduling your appointment well before any special occasions.

To let the lip fillers settle and to avoid causing any complications with the shape, avoid applying excessive pressure to the lips for about two weeks. Avoid oil-based makeup and other cosmetics for one day after the procedure, keeping the treated area clean to reduce the chance of irritation or infection.

Avoid alcohol, smoking, and certain medications such as blood thinning medications. You should also avoid excessive heat exposure and strenuous exercise for 24 hours after the treatment. Taking care of your general health by staying hydrated and getting enough rest can also help you to achieve the most effective results.

Avoid long flights due to the air pressure on the plane. If you can, you may also want to sleep with your head elevated on an extra pillow, as this can help to reduce swelling.

Please contact the clinic if you notice any concerning signs, such as discolouration, prolonged swelling or significant discomfort.

Risks and potential side effects of dermal lip fillers

Your consultation will provide you with knowledge of any potential side effects of lip fillers and the steps you can take to minimise them. Since the lip fillers will naturally fade at a varying rate per client over time, there is also a risk that the filler could dissolve faster than initially expected, prompting more frequent top-up treatments to maintain the initial results.

Our team will take the necessary steps to achieve the best results. During your consultation, you must let your injector know of any health conditions that you may have that can impact the body’s healing process.
