• ✓If there is a visible bump or lump, you can start massaging very gently the area gently, starting on day 3 of treatment up to 2 weeks.
• ✓You can engage in routine activity and do light exercises like walking. But avoid any form of strenuous exercise 24-48 hours after your lip injection treatment.
