Thank you for your question. An ice pack is an ice pack. Whichever one you want to use is fine.
Any type of ice pack with cold compresses and ibuprofen will give improvement. Bruising and/or swelling can last 1-2 weeks after lip fillers. Hope this helps.

Hello Renata. In some cases after injections, there can be either nerve irritation or fibrillations of the lip muscles for a bit of time. I suggest you get in touch with your injector and ask if massaging might help. Best. Dr. ALDO
Thank you for sharing your question. Though tongue numbness is not uncommon with the cream applied to the lips, I do not think it related to your chest tightness. This should pass spontaneously but if it does not then reach out to your general PCP for an appointment.
There's nothing wrong with starting with a 1/2 syringe and adding more later if desired. However, based on what I see in your pictures and my experience, you probably won't get much of a difference with just half a syringe and will likely want the full syringe. The most important thing is the...
Yes , but 1 syringe is very small if done right this is subtle. I suggest you go to an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
