Lip filler is a way to make lips look fuller and more defined by injecting hyaluronic acid. This substance holds water and keeps its shape. However, right after the injection, the filler doesn’t settle into the lips immediately. In this article, I will answer how many days it takes for lip filler to look good, how long the swelling lasts, and how each person should take care of themselves after getting it.
How long does the swelling last after getting lip filler?
Usually, after the injection, you’ll start to see a change in the shape of your lips, but it won’t be very clear because of swelling. The amount of swelling depends on where the filler was injected, how much was injected, and each person’s body.
The swelling will naturally go away in about 7-14 days. The filler itself will take about a month to settle fully with the lips. So now you know how many days it takes for lip filler to look good.
How to take care of yourself after getting lip filler
Besides swelling, you might feel tightness or slight puffiness where the filler was injected. This is normal. You may also see needle marks or bruises that will fade quickly.
Before the Filler fully settles, here are 7 tips from the doctor to help reduce swelling and bruising, and to keep the filler in the right shape
- Avoid massaging, pressing, kissing, biting, or rubbing your lips hard until the filler settles, because this can cause pain and slow down the swelling recovery.
- Don’t try to shape the filler yourself. If you’re worried about the shape, contact the clinic and they’ll ask the doctor to check.
- Don’t move your lips too much at first. Too much movement can make the filler shift and affect the lip shape.
- You can take painkillers, but avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) because they can make bruising worse.
- Avoid alcohol and certain supplements like Vitamin E, Vitamin K, fish oil, and primrose, as they can also slow down bruise recovery.
- Drink lots of water, at least 8-10 glasses a day. This helps the filler hold water and blend into the lips faster.
- Avoid activities that expose you to heat, like laser treatments, saunas, and steam rooms, because high heat can make the filler break down faster.

How long does lip filler last?
Even though the filler box says it can last 18-24 months, this depends on your body, lifestyle, and the area where the filler was injected.
The lips are sensitive and move a lot, which makes the filler break down faster. So, lip filler usually lasts about 4-6 months on average.
