Which should come first? Lip filler first lip blushing after.

This is the correct order recommended by professionals in both aesthetic clinics and lip blushing studios. Heres why:

Why you should get lip fillers first

1.) Fillers change the shape of your lips

After getting fillers, your lip shape becomes fuller, more defined, or more contoured.

This allows the artist to design the color and outline based on your final lip shape.

2.) Doing lip blushing first can distort the color or shape

If you blush your lips and then inject fillers later:

The filler may push the lip tissue outward

Causing the tattooed outline to shift or look uneven

This often results in the need for correction.

3.) The final result looks better

Once the fillers have settled, the artist can precisely choose

the right color tone,
the correct shading,
and the perfect outline for your new lip shape.

How long should you wait? The ideal timeline

Step	Recommended Timing
Lip filler	Do this first
Wait for fillers to settle	2-4 weeks
Lip blushing	After fillers are fully settled
Touch-up session	30-45 days after the first blushing session

Already got lip blushing? Can you still get fillers?
Yes – but with considerations:
Wait for lip blushing to fully heal
This usually takes 28-30 days.
You can get lip fillers afterward
However, because fillers may change the shape of your lips,
You might need a color touch-up or outline adjustment afterward.
Its possible, but not the optimal sequence.
