Swellinga fter lip augmentation with fillers is very common
IMHO, you shouldn't throw yourself into a panic because your upper lip has swelling after fillers to the lip.

Uneven Swelling One Day After Lip Augmentation With Restylane or Juvederm
I warn all of my patients not to make any "final" decisions until at least one week after their lip augmentation.

Swelling post lip augmentation
I generally advise my patients to avoid excercising right after Juvederm or Restylane injections as I feel it contributes to swelling.

I recommned ice compresses and benadryl to help the swelling go away. Most swelling is resolved within 2-3 days. A bruise will take...

Lip augmentation
It is not uncommon to have swelling and bruising after fillers are injected for lip augmentation. It is too soon to judge the result of your treatment. At this point, just call the office alert them to your concerns and be patient. You may need a touch up as well.

Lip Swelling Post Augmentation
If your lips were even after a hyaluronic filler injection when you left the doctors office, and did not get assymetric until later , most likely the problem is just that, swelling and maybe a little bleeding and should resolve on its own.

Asymmetry after lip augmentation
Asymmetric swelling after injections to achieve lip augmentation is not uncommon. I would relax about this for a week or two. Fortunately, if the asymmetry persists and is noticeable to others, judicious use of the enzyme hyaluronidase by your physician should take care of the problem.

Lip augmentation and swelling
Some swelling is common after filler injection especially after exercise. Usually it settles down in a few days, but if it is alarmingly large or bruised, you may want to see your doctor.
