Too Much Juvederm in Lips?
I need some advice. I had juverderm put into my top lip yesterday and immediately i was upset with the result.

Too Much Juvederm in Lips?
Thank you for your question. I would wait about 2 weeks until the product has settled, and then return for an evaluation. Every injection is different and independent from the last. Sometimes you'll have no bruising or swelling, and at times you will have more. You can take Tylenol, antihistamines, and frequent icing as needed. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for an evaluation and for the safest...

Juvederm in lips
It is not abnormal to have significant swelling from Juvederm injected into the lips and lip area. Peak swelling can happen around day 3-4 post-treatment, and even then can still take some time to settle down. Using ice and having patience - then following up with the provider after 7-10 days is what I'd recommend.

How much is too much filler in the lip
Typically speaking, 1 syringe of filler is good enough for many people. That said, in some patients I will use half a syringe, and in others 1.5 syringes. There is often lip swelling and bruising after injection, and so the end result should not be judged for at least 2 weeks. At that point, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve any excess filler if that is the case. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Swelling after Juvederm: How much is normal?
It is hard to know how much is swelling and how much is product until at least two afters after your procedure. Until then, the body may be causing excess redness, edema, and a feeling of heaviness. I recommend icing and waiting at least another week and a half before you truly evaluate the appearance of your upper lip.

Juvederm injections and post injection swelling
It is not uncommon to experience swelling and lumpiness following Juvederm injection, especially in the lips. At just one day post injection, the swelling is probably near its maximum and should start to improve in the next couple of days. Topical cold packs and subsequent gentle massage may help. However, you should check back with your doctor for their recommendation. Best wishes.

Swelling after Juvederm injections
Most patients do experience swelling after Juvederm, particularly in the lips. The lump you are feeling is most likely a bruise and will resolve in time. I would wait another week and if it still bothering you return to your plastic surgeon for a reversal. I hope this helps you.
Kindest regards

Swelling in lips after Juvederm
It is very common to have swelling in the lips after Juvederm or Restylane injections, as hyaluronic acid attracts water. Both products are often used in the lips and provide great results. Usually, swelling subsides within a week or two and the final result can be assessed. That being said, if there are concerns about the injections, it is always prudent to see the provider that performed the injections. For best results, see a board certified...

Juvederm in Lips and Swelling
It is absolutely normal to have swelling after lip injection with Juvederm or Restylane. In fact, you can swell one time a lot, and then, with the next injection, not swell much at all. I always warn my patients that they may look like daffy duck and have really puffy lips for a few days. It should go down. The lump is more than likely extra swelling, or even a bruise. Hang in there. Ice should help. If you are really worried, make sure you go back in for a follow-up.
My recommendation...

Juvederm in lips
Give your lips a chance before you panic. They might be swollen . I would wait at least two weeks before panicking. After that, if you do not like it , it can be dissolved. If you have really hard areas or areas that are turning white/gray, see your doctor ASAP.

Juvederm for lips
Please see your injector to determine if the lump is Juvederm, which can be massaged, or a hematoma, which will resolve on its own. Wait 2 weeks for any swelling or bruising to go down and see how you like the result. Your lips should be balanced, with the lower lip being fuller for a natural look. If you are not happy with the result, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the Juvederm or more can be added to your lower lip.

Too much Juvederm in lips
The lips have a tendency to swell, and at some treatments, this may happen more than at others. I would wait at least a week if not two before you take any Juvederm out or worry about what it looks like. With the swelling and bruising, and what sounds like a possible hematoma in the left upper lip, you can't clearly assess anything. Ice, don't press on it, and wait for a bit before you do anything.
Also, just my opinion, but never should you only inject the top lip - your lips need to...
