I had juvederm injected in my lips 2 months ago . I Was happy with The results with the exception of some bumps in the upper lips . It wasn't noticeable but I could fill it. A week ago my lips blowed up like a ballon . I have major swelling in my lips . It gets better during the day but for reason I wake up very inflamed. My dr told me to take Medrol to see if the inflammation gets better. Is this normal ? Is this inflammation will ever go away ? Should I remove the juvederm ?

An in person consultation will determine a candidate for an 8 point lift vs treating one area. The 8 point lift is used for mid aged patients to lift throughout the face. The product should not migrate from where it has been injected.
Thank you for the question. In general, I recommend Tylenol and ice after filler injections. There is a small risk of increasing the bruising with aspirin and ibuprofen products (including Advil). Best of luck!
