Oral Sex After Lip Fillers? What You Need to Know
So, you’ve gotten your pout perfected with some lip fillers, and now you can return to your normal activities… or most of them, at least. There are a few exceptions, and oral sex after lip fillers are one of them. Hope you’re not too disappointed, you sexy beast!
At Wild Moon Collective in Libertyville, IL, we prioritize the safety and satisfaction of our clients, and we want to make sure you’re completely informed about our aesthetic procedures. That’s why we’re going to address some common concerns regarding performing oral sex after lip filler injections with some comprehensive answers to the questions you may be a little nervous to ask.
A Bit of Background: What’s in Dermal Fillers?
The majority of facial fillers available on the market are composed of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). This clear substance is perfect for lip augmentation because of its moisture-attracting properties. HA is known to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water, functioning as a humectant that keeps water molecules close to the skin. This makes it an excellent choice for creating fuller, more defined lips that also retain their natural hydration.
When touched, HA feels similar to a gel that has been diluted with water, resulting in a consistency that closely resembles natural lip tissue. The body gradually absorbs the filler over the course of several months, making it a safe and FDA-approved option for lip fillers that is also easy to maintain with follow-up treatments.
Oral Sex After Lip Fillers: Yay or Nay?
To achieve optimal and long-lasting results, you need to practice discipline and take proper care of your upgraded lips. HA is malleable and may shift in your lips until it settles in its final position. That’s why we tell our clients to refrain from constantly touching their lips or engaging in activities that may put undue pressure on them. This includes smoking, drinking from a straw, and, unfortunately for your sex life, both spirited make-out sessions and oral sex.
When Can I Perform Oral Sex After Lip Filler Injections?
Specifically, we recommend refraining from oral sex and other “no, no” lip activities for the first 3 to 5 days post-treatment. This will help to ensure that your investment in your lips is well-protected. Having a little patience during this time is essential so that the filler can settle in properly, resulting in the best possible results and appearance for your new lips.
Our skilled injectors set our med spa apart, and we’ll expertly place the filler in a way that maximizes its longevity and effectiveness. Following the recommended after-care instructions, including avoiding oral sex, will help to ensure optimal results.
What Could Happen if I Do Perform Oral Sex Too Soon After Fillers?
It is important to avoid applying intense pressure, friction, or back-and-forth motion to newly injected lip fillers. Such activities can cause the filler to travel outside its intended boundaries, resulting in a "duck face" or "trout pout" appearance. Additionally, this can cause the volume of the filler to deflate or result in small lumps forming along the lip line – and that’s not the look we want for you, love!
Furthermore, it is important to note that after getting lip injections, your lips are prone to swelling. Activities that raise the heart rate may further exacerbate this swelling, making it even more critical to avoid putting undue stress on the lips. If the filler is deflated or dissolved, it will be necessary to start the process over again. That would be truly disappointing, right?
Now that you know the risks, you can see that it’s best to take our tips for aftercare seriously following your lip filler injections so you can enjoy your perfectly shaped and plumped pout for a long time.
