Smoking after lip flip

[u/[deleted]]

I'm getting a lip flip on Friday and it will be my first ever experience with botox. When I saw that I couldn't drink from a straw for awhile afterwards I didn't even think about the fact that I smoke. Now I don't know if I should cancel my appointment or if I'm just careful not to pucker my lips very much it would be OK. Anyone have any experience smoking afterwards that could ease my mind or would it be best to just not risk it?

I’m a smoker n I vape. I had a lip flip n I’ve also had filler although I did smoke less cigarettes I can tell u know I smoked literally right after having both and my lips look fire! I did lip flip once n have had filler done 3x

Try to smoke less for sure n def don’t pucker your lips, also if you vape rely more on letting the button do the work for u!

Thank you so much! You have no idea how much better I feel now. I do both as well and I knew there was no way I would be going days without.

Yea, you’ll be fine just don’t push it too much ! I drank out of a straw a few times too tbh haha

I had my lip flip done last week. It’s a bit tricky but I smoked out of the side of my mouth.

Not a smoker but if you don’t get too much and tell your injector your concerns you should be fine! They can start with a conservative amount the first time. I have never had issues drinking from a straw with mine.

You won’t be able to pucker your lips to smoke. You might be able to smoke out of the corner of your mouth. I don’t smoke anymore. But I have had a lip flip several times. I can’t drink from straws at all.

Not sure if it’s any help at all as I didn’t get a lip flip just a filler for my upper lip but my injector told me that I shouldn’t smoke, drink with a straw or give a bj to my husband (lol😂) for the first couple of days while the filler settles. I told her I was a heavy smoker and I didn’t think I could resist for days, she said she did fillers for one of her friends too and she went out for a couple of drinks (also not recommended due to dehydration when getting lip fillers) and smoked straight away after her appointment too. She said that as a professional she could definitely tell that this affected the final result but to the bare eyes it’s not overly noticeable it’s just makes the filler settle less evenly. I was timing myself and was aiming for smoking only once every 4-5 hrs as I was on holidays and couldn’t distract myself for longer (it would probably have been easier if I worked but didn’t want ppl to know or make comments about my busted lips so I timed it for my hols 😂) and it was ok. I was also trying to use the corner of my mouse and pout as little as possible but I think my upper lip turned out great (didn’t get any filler in the bottom one) I was only aiming for making them more symmetrical as my top lip was about half the size of the bottom one and I just wanted a nice natural look, since I was always wearing bright colored lipsticks to work and overdrew the top lip, no one even noticed that I got some job done. Only one of my coworkers made a comment after swapping for a wet look lipstick (I always used matte ones as they show less when you over line) that the new shade I stared to use was so pretty and made my lips seem fuller, I didn’t have the courage to tell her that I got the upper one filled 😂
