Swelling After Veneers Normal?

I do not think you need to go to a hospital unless the swelling is some part of an allergic reaction you are having and you will have more symptoms than just a swollen lip. Veneers can be a traumatic procedure for some people and everyone is different. You do not mention pain and your top lip is swollen, which I think, is just a reaction to the work that was done on your teeth and surrounding tissue often will discolor and look brusied and  upper lips do swell. Some people experience pain and others do not. I would wait a few days and see if the swelling goes down.

Even though we are in an age of minimally invasive treatments, all dental work is essentially minor surgery. Like any other type of minor surgery, you can have a range of issues afterwards from bothersome to serious.

After cosmetic dentistry you could have some irritation or bother. In general we don't see serious complications after veneers.

If your lip is swollen you could have a delayed sensitivity or allergic type reaction. While I don't think yours is an emergency, if it gets worse that you are really worried about it, then you can go to your MD or the emergency room.

Contact your cosmetic dentist right away, let them know what's happening, they may be able to advise you on any reason why you'd have that reaction.

Oftentimes Benadryl and Ibuprofen go a long way to lessening the swelling.

 

I would not suggest going to the hospital, but recommend returning to the dentist.  It may be something very simple (and may have gone away by the time you get to the office).  It is also possible that there was another issue with the teeth already present, and the treatment pushed things over the edge (like pulling the pin on a wound up coil).
