Lips Swelling from Too Much Juvederm?

I just had a Juvederm filler applied to my lips and my upper lip looks like fell and hit it. Is this due more likely to swelling or too much filler. When would it be time to look at correction if needed? When is applying ice no longer an effective treatment?

Some swelling from Juvederm for 1-2 weeks

There is always some swelling related to the filler injection. Bruising varies between different individuals. I recommend that you wait for 2-3 weeks for the final result. It is to be noted that hyaluronic acide fillers attract water and will swell intinially ( 48-72 hours). This is usually a wanted effect. Hope that helps.

Wait two weeks

The lips are very vascular, that is why they are red. It is nearly impossible not to hit some small blood vessels, causing swelling and bruising. This bruising should last a few days. If the swelling lasts two weeks you may have had too much filler injected. If that is the case yhour physician might inject you with hyaluronidase, an enzyme which will dissolve the filler. Ice will help in the first day but not much beyond that time. Stay in good communication your physician.... more
