i had the lip augmentation procedure done 6 days ago, most visible swelling and bruising has gone. there is still very minor bumps. my lips are just beginning to settle. however i accidentally hit on my lip on the right side. no apparent damage or changes. the area seems slightly red and i do feel a small bump but i can't tell if this was from the hit or not. could this cause any permanent damage?? is it something i should worry about?
Answer: Trauma After Lip Augmentation As filler can be molded to shape the first few days, trauma to the area and manipulation should be done with caution. After a period of 3-7 days, the filler becomes harder to move around in the lop and trauma will less likely reposition the filler. A thorough examination by your treating physician should help clarify if there is any repositoining of the filler.

Answer: I bumped my lip 6 days after having fillers. Is it something i should worry about? I do not think you should worry about this. You can ice for a few days to minimize swelling/ bruising. If that bump persists beyond a week I would return to your physician injector to have them evaluate your lip area. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Trauma After Lip Augmentation Thank you for your question. I would worry too much about this. However, you can help reduce the swelling by applying cold compresses to the treated area. If your bump persists for more than a week I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation. Best of Luck!

Answer: Bumped lip 6 days after injections I'm sure it is just fine as fillers are pretty much settled at about 48 hours. Try to keep your tongue away from the site that is sore and don't manipulate the area. If anything persists that wasn't there after the injection but before the bump, then see your injector.
