Can I drink alcohol after lip augmentation?

Before you increase the lips with the use of fillers, each patient must study all the indications and contraindications for the procedure. Many are interested in whether it is possible to drink alcohol before and after lip augmentation, is it harmful? Consider this question in detail.

Alcohol before fillers

In this matter, the position of cosmetologists is clear - if you decide to resort to this procedure, hoping for an excellent result, it is better to reinsure yourself and not to drink alcohol either before or after the introduction of fillers.

The fact is that, despite the fact that the procedure is carried out by a cosmetologist, it already belongs to plastic surgery, since the fillers are introduced into soft tissues by injection.Although minimal, it is still an intervention in the body, which can have unexpected (and not always pleasant) consequences.

Before you carry out the procedure, you must adhere to these rules:

1. Drink strong alcohol at least 3-4 days before the procedure, weak - a day. There are several reasons for this rule. Alcohol promotes dehydration of tissues, swelling may appear later, because after dehydration, the body begins to diligently fill up fluid loss. Also, alcohol contributes to high blood pressure - in turn, this can lead to the fact that bruises are formed at the injection sites.
2. You can not eat spicy, spicy, as well as salty foods - they provoke puffiness.
3. You can not do peeling near the lips, so as not to injure the skin.

Alcohol after three days after injections can not be consumed for the same reason as before the procedure.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account that not all patients feel great after the levings of the day before. It is possible that a person will become dizzy, the blood will coagulate poorly, and the traces of micro-punches will heal much longer.Rehabilitation is not at all as smooth as if the patient refused to drink before and after lip augmentation.

Due to the fact that alcohol contributes to the expansion of blood vessels, the hyaluronum may not "fit" as we would like - perhaps there will not be enough volume, or the lips will be uneven. Drinking alcohol before the procedure can also cause concern to the patient - and this will significantly interfere with the work of a specialist. Moreover, it is not necessary to drink directly before the procedure to calm. The best way to calm down in this case is to take a couple of deep breaths before inserting the needle into the soft tissue.

Alcohol after the introduction of fillers

The procedure itself is very expensive, and if you don’t want your money to be spent on the wind, it’s better to donate dubious pleasure and not to drink alcohol. The specialist will also be sure to warn that drinking alcohol after the introduction of fillers may be unpredictable.

Reasons to refuse alcohol after lip augmentation

Some aspects have already been considered, but these are not all the reasons why you should not drink alcohol. Alcohol has an anesthetic effect, since decay products tend to block the pain receptors in the brain. So maybe it's worth a little drink "for courage"? Not. The reasons are as follows.

1. If you drink alcoholic beverages after the procedure, hyaluronic acid and other fillers tend to break down, being absorbed into the tissue and gradually passing into the intercellular fluid. That is, to reduce the effect, and your puffy lips that you so dreamed of, will cease to be such.
2. Ethanol has the ability to dry the skin.After the procedure, this is highly undesirable, since crusts form at the puncture site, they will be very dry, the lips will begin to crack, which can later trigger infection.
3. Also, alcohol has the ability to provoke an increase in blood microcirculation, it is also undesirable after the procedure, because bleeding may occur.

In general, during the recovery period, experts do not recommend eating and drinking more hotly because it stimulates blood flow - and in fact the place where the puncture was made, and without that inflamed. If the vessels are dilated, bruises may appear, swelling of the tissues will increase.

What complications can occur?

If you like to drink, you do not see anything terrible in this, and after increasing the lips, remember: the effect of the procedure will not follow. Of course, you can refer to the incompetence of a specialist, but this is not so - in this situation only your fault is that it was not possible to get any results from the injections.

Consider what negative consequences can be expected if you decide to end the procedure by drinking a couple of cocktails:

• formation of a bruise at the puncture site;
• severe swelling of tissues;
• the need to repeat the procedure due to the lack of result;
• the occurrence of allergic reactions;
• the result after the introduction of the filler will not last long;
• inflammatory process may develop;
• it is also quite possible that the gel can be torn away.

What to do if alcohol consumption can not be avoided?

Anything happens in life — classmates, anniversaries, weddings — drinking a glass of champagne may seem out of place. If you do not want to be sad, in this situation the only way out is to drink as little as possible, and only weak alcoholic beverages. For snacks, it is also important to choose unsalted, unsharp food - in order not to aggravate the situation, since such food also tends to provoke puffiness, which is not desirable after the introduction of fillers.

Edema appeared: what to do?

If you look in the mirror in the morning and see that your lips are swollen, do not immediately panic. The situation can be saved by adhering to several rules after yesterday's booze:

1. Again, we exclude salty, spicy, fatty.
2. You do not need to drink a lot of water - so you can significantly aggravate the situation.
3. Try on this day to eat as many vegetables as possible - the fiber that they contain will help remove excess water without harm.
4. A cold compress can be applied to swollen areas.
5. Drink a diuretic: it is better to let it be herbal collection.

If even a couple of days after you drank alcohol, nothing helps, swelling is retained, the only way out is to seek help from a beautician who did the procedure for you. Maybe the filler will have to be removed in order not to aggravate the situation.

Therefore, only one conclusion can be made from the above: if you do not want to create problems for yourself, you are going to get the perfect result and leave it for a long time: from drinking alcohol after introducing fillers to the lips to increase them, it is better to refuse.
