Lip Fillers in Cincinnati, OH

Lip fillers usually last anywhere from six months to 1 year, depending on the type of augmentation and the patient’s metabolic rate. Some products, like Juvéderm, can last for 18 months with the proper care and maintenance. Over time, the body metabolizes the filler and the lips gradually return to their original shape.

Mild bruising and swelling are common after lip fillers and usually resolve within one week. To ease discomfort, apply an ice pack wrapped in a thin cloth to the area. If swelling persists, consult your doctor.

Your Livio provider will also give you personalized instructions to help minimize swelling and support healing.

The cost of lip fillers can vary widely depending on the type and amount of product used. At Livio, we keep it simple—all lip filler treatments are $659. During your consultation, your injector will discuss your goals and recommend the best product to achieve your desired look.

Lip fillers typically last 6–12 months, depending on how much is injected, where it’s placed, and how quickly your body metabolizes the product. Regular maintenance treatments can extend results.

It is essential to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to your lips. You will want to keep your lips hydrated during the first couple of days after your lip filler treatment, which will help reduce dryness and peeling. Drink plenty of water, and apply aquaphor or chapstick to your lips in the first 24 hours. You can apply lipstick after 24 hours but choose a gentle easy to remove gloss for the first couple of days after your treatment.

During your recovery from a lip filler procedure, you may wonder whether it’s advisable to drink after your injections. Alcohol can affect the healing process and potentially worsen any bruising or swelling. You should wait at least 24 hours after your treatment before you resume drinking.

You should avoid smoking for at least two days after getting a lip filler. Smoking could damage your lips and expose them to infection, and smoking can also cause wrinkles, age spots, and discoloration.

If you plan to eat after getting a lip filler, it’s important to avoid salty foods. Excess sodium will dehydrate your lips, and it also irritates the lips. You should also avoid spicy foods.

Drink plenty of water to keep your lips hydrated.

After lip filler, bruising, swelling, and soreness are common for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid applying firm pressure to your lips for at least 72 hours. Kissing is generally safe but should be postponed for two days to allow proper healing.
