As many commented below, give it time. Try not to panick.
Lip augmentation with injectable fillers such has Restylane or Juvederm is common today. The lip naturally swells & bruises from the injection. Most of the swelling, which contributes to the trout pout, goes does within a day or so, but sometimes longer.
Lip exercises and ice packs help reduce the swelling. After several days, if you are still unhappy with the lip size, you have 2 options after hyaluronic acid injection. Either wait it out, as your body naturally absorbs and breaks down the injectable filler. Another option to consider is using hyaluronidase, a material which accelerates the breakdown of hyaluronic acid.

Hi Kaelyn, I'm hoping that your practitioner provided you with good verbal and written post-treatment instructions that should offer reassurance. Intermittent icing with frozen pea bags will help, consider using Tylenol for any discomfort, and I would strongly discourage any massaging as lips are known for delayed bruising and more swelling if the patient manipulates the area too much. If you do not begin to see progressive, gradual improvement, call your practitioner for further advice. Lori Haney, RN, MEP-C Certified Medical Laser Safety Officer

I believe the reason why you are only reading negative experiences is because the people don't write back to report on the final outcome which is usually the case. Also, those that are usually pleased do not share in forums. I would suggest you find a good pratitioner that is willing to spend some time with you as a consulation to answer your questions and concerns. It is not unusual for my female patients to be concerned that they may have too much product resulting in an unnatural appearance. Your treatment plan should be developed with your input, your goals, and a clear understanding of what your final outcome should be. Ask questions!
