Asked for Female, 38
I did lip filler today at around 1.00 P.M. and when I felt pain while eating two hours after that , I took Advil gel. I noticed the swelling and bruising are much more than the last time and then i read that it is not recommended to take certain pain killers after lip filler. what can happen ? and after how many hours or days the swelling and bruising will disappear? Thank you
Answered on 8th July '24
Using pain medicine such as Advil gel can increase the size and color of swollen areas around the mouth because of lip injections. These drugs can worsen bleeding or inflammation. For this reason, physicians recommend avoiding them after any surgery. Patients need to know that it takes almost one week for their faces to look normal again after having had fillers done; during which they should ice packs put on affected areas to reduce puffiness. Wait 7-10 days before seeing them get better so don’t worry too much now.

I had a breast reduction and double liposuction 8 days ago. if I smoke weed today will that mess with my healing badly? I still have sutures in and like partially opens insisions you know
Answered on 9th Aug '24
It's important not to smoke weed after a breast reduction and liposuction. Healing can be affected by this which may cause a slow healing process or more risks for infection. Oxygen flow will decrease when you smoke marijuana preventing proper tissue healing in turn leads to your body not getting enough oxygen that it needs for proper healing process.

After tummy tuck, the time to return home and when resuming activities such as walking up stairs may differ greatly from one individual to another. Usually patients are advised not to engage in heavy physical activities such as climbing stairs within the first weeks following surgery for proper healing.

Can cartilage move after rhinoplasty?
Answered on 23rd May '24
After the process of rhinoplasty, it involves positioning or reshaping cartilage in your nose to get that aesthetic look. Although the cartilage itself does not “move” in a way that bones can, modifications made during rhinoplasty surgery may produce quite different appearances. Cartilage can be shaped and anchored into a new place during surgery but after healing is completed, it rarely changes its position. However, problems such as formation of scar tissue or alterations in the skin thickness can affect its appearance with time. Any inquiries concerning postoperative changes should be posed to the surgeon, who will shed light on how exactly this or that technique is carried out and what long-term results can occur.

Signs of fluffing after bbl?
Answered on 23rd May '24
Fluffing is the time after a BBL, where transferred fat settles and makes its way into the surrounding tissue. During this time, the buttocks become less hard and feel more natural to touch compared with seven days after surgery. The shape may also seem more rounded and distinct as swelling ebbs and the fat enlarges slightly. There is usually an enhancement in shape and smoothness of the buttocks region. Regular follow-ups with your surgeon are important to monitor these changes and ensure the proper healing of wounds.
