Will your mouth swell like a sausage after tattooing your lips?
It will usually be fine.
After tattooing, it takes about 5 to 7 days to reduce the swelling. The specific time to reduce swelling varies from person to person, depending on the speed of body metabolism.
If the body's metabolism is relatively fast, it may take about 5 days to reduce the swelling. If the body's metabolism is slow, it may take about 7 days to reduce the swelling. Tattooing is mainly done by injecting plant dyes into the dermis through acupuncture, which can change the color of lips, make lips more beautiful, and may also cause trauma, swelling and pain to lips. After tattooing for 3 days, apply a hot towel or hot water bag to your lips to speed up blood circulation and reduce swelling. If the wound is swollen seriously, it is suggested to apply erythromycin ointment and acyclovir ointment under the guidance of a professional doctor, which can achieve anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and antiviral effects and help the wound recover.
After tattooing, you can eat some semi-liquid food, such as egg soup, porridge, etc., to avoid chewing too much food, so as not to affect the wound recovery. Don't let the wound come into contact with water to avoid infection.
