If lip fillers are part of your Valentine’s Day glow-up, timing matters. A well-planned treatment at Ada Aesthetics Medispa can give you soft, natural-looking lips just in time for the big day, but poor timing can leave you dealing with swelling when you’d rather be sipping wine or heading out to dinner.
Here’s how to plan lip fillers the right way before Valentine’s Day, straight from our team of experts.
For Valentine’s Day, the sweet spot is one to two weeks before your plans.
Lip fillers create immediate volume, but some swelling and mild bruising are normal, especially during the first few days.

A little prep goes a long way in minimizing bruising and swelling. In the days leading up to your appointment, your Ada Aesthetics Medispa provider may recommend avoiding certain blood-thinning medications, such as NSAIDs, unless medically necessary.
You’ll also need to avoid any supplements that thin your blood. This includes turmeric, garlic, ginkgo, and fish oil.

Our team gives you personalized aftercare instructions to help your lips heal smoothly and evenly.
Most swelling improves within a few days, but lips typically look their best 7 to 10 days after treatment. At this point, your filler has settled, the shape looks balanced, and your lips feel natural again, perfect for lipstick, photos, and close-up moments.
Even better: After your initial healing period, you’re set for about a year. Juvederm lip fillers typically last about 12 months.
If Valentine’s Day is on your calendar, now is the time to plan (not rush) your lip filler appointment.
