Juvaderm: My Lips Are Swollen and Look Horrible. Is 0.8 Cc Too Much?
I just had my lips done Monday at 5pm and it is now one full day later (Tuesday at 6pm). The doctor put 0.8 into my lips. It looks horrible. It looks all puffy and bruised". I was mortified and called into work today. How can I resolve this? I spoke to the doctor that did it and he keeps saying it will go down. I am wondering if 0.8 is considered a large amount. Is this going to get better? Is this what my lips will look like for the next five months?

Can take a week for swelling to subside completely following lip filler
As the others have said, give it time. But, while you are waiting, do ice the site frequently to minimize the swelling, stay away from activities that will make it more likely to stay swollen (hot tubs, saunas, aerobic exercise), and do not manipulate the injection site (as the material can move if too much pressure is applied). In my experience, most of the swelling will subside in a few days but some patients may require a week to ten days for all of the swelling to go away...

Lip swelling after fillers
Juvederm, like all hyaluronic acid fillers (e.g Restylane, Perlane, Teosyal), can cause swelling after injection, especially if the lips are treated. Give it 1 week to settle down ; if at that point you're unhappy, you can have your physician inject you with hyaluronidase to dissolve some of the Juvederm. Relax, this will no doubt settle down for you. Sleep on extra pillows, avoid aspirin/advil, and avoid sauna/steamroom for the next 2 weeks.

Lip swelling after Juvederm
0.8cc is a common volume to place in the lips, but you can expect significant swelling in the first week, which can take a full 2 weeks to resolve. Listen to you doctor and give it time to resolve. If after two weeks it hasn't improved, return for a reassessment.

Swollen lips from Juvederm injections
The typical side effects associated with hyaluronic acid injections such as Juvederm into the lips include bruising, redness, swelling and pain. These occur in as high as 90% of patients and usually resolve within one week. It is possible that some of these side effects may be affected by the injection techniques such as fan like injections, higher injection volumes, and more rapid injection times. I always recommend waiting at least one to two weeks for the swelling to go down after the...

Patience is the name of the game. 24 hours is much too soon to worry. You should trust your physician to help you though this. If lumps or bumps persist, there is still not much to worry about, because they can be helped.

Swelling from Juvederm in Lips after One Day
Swelling and Bruising are common side effects from Juvederm injections into the lips. Usually the material swells more in the first 24 hours after injection then begins to subside. The bruising will also subside in a few days. It is far too early to evaluate your treatment one day out. If your problem persists for more than a few days, please return to your injector to be evaluated. Juvederm can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase if need be. 0.8cc is just one...

Juvederm in Lips
Injecting a .8 syringe into the lips in no way is too much, normally. In fact, Allergan actually suggests 2 full syringes for full correction. That being said the amount of injection should always depend on the patient and desired results. But no, normally a .8 syringe is quite normal to inject. Bruising and swelling, especially with lip injections, should be expected! The lips are very soft tissue, and after all, a gel is being injected into them! Swelling and bruising are totally normal...
