Asked By:staceygent1

Hi There.I got my lips injected with lip filler yesterday and they are still huge.im on 18 hours post procedure and trying NOT to freak out. I am icing through a compress as they are numb and I don't want to burn them,slept with head elevated last night and I have taken an anti inflammatory but I have had to take today off work as I was not expecting this kind of swelling. Everything I have read and been told, have said it willll go down.but I have a high profile job with a conference on tomorrow..... Help..... How do I minimize this swelling in the shortest amount of time?and how much longer??
