Can I Wear Makeup After a Lip Flip Procedure?
Yes, you can wear makeup after a lip flip procedure, but it is important to wait a few hours before applying products directly to the treated area. Immediately following the procedure, you may notice mild redness, swelling, or even slight bruising at the injection sites. These effects are generally temporary and resolve within a few hours. To ensure the best results and avoid any potential irritation, it's advised to refrain from rubbing, pressing, or applying makeup directly to the treated area for the first few hours. This will give the Botox or neuromodulator enough time to settle and begin its effect on the surrounding muscles.
Once the initial swelling and redness subside, typically within a few hours, you can return to your normal makeup routine. However, it’s important to be gentle when applying products around the lip area in the first few days to avoid any pressure or irritation. After a few days, when the full effect of the lip flip has settled in and the lip appears fuller and more defined, you can confidently apply makeup without concern. By that time, the subtle enhancement will be visible, providing a more defined lip contour, which allows you to enjoy your enhanced look while wearing makeup as you normally would.
