Asked By:jamiemerolle in Las Vegas, NV

I went to a medspa and got it done by a PA everyone told me he was amazing at sutures which they do look good but my lip is so swollen I have had previous injections and wondering if the lidocaine effected or messed with my injections. I have been icing and staying elevated and taking arnica and ibuprofen. These photos are 17 hours after. The doctor keeps saying it’s normal but it’s not going down.

Amy Y. Paul, DO, FAAD says:

It takes a scar about a full year to be at its final outcome, so please be patient with your scars.  We recommend a scar cream such as Mederma or Scar Guard after the skin gets a pink new surface.  You should avoid sun and use a good sunscreen also.  If you are still not...
