After a hyaluronidase injection for lip swelling, it's generally recommended to use a cold compress. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling and numb the area, providing relief. Hot compresses might exacerbate swelling by increasing blood flow to the area, so they are typically not advised immediately after the procedure. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific recommendations for post-injection care.
