When Will my Filled Lips Look Normal? (photo)
Yesterday for the first time I had 1 syringe of juvederm put into my lips. Dr also did the dental block. I wanted something natural, just a bit fuller, and I have huge, duck lips! They are all black and blue and are sticking way far out. I'm terrified they won't go down and look normal. I iced them yesterday off and on all day. What should I do?

Swelling of lips after Juvederm injections
The swelling will go down, so relax, use some ice cold compresses lightly to the area and avoid hot beverages and any aspirin or NSAIDs. Even at this point after injections, arnica may still be of benefit and reduce the swelling more quickly, so consider taking a short course of Arnica. One brand name we use in the office is Sinech, but you can also find it at Whole Foods or any health food store. Next time consider taking arnica ahead of time and icing the lips prior...

When will my filled lips look normal?
After one day, you will be experiencing swelling. This should improve within two weeks. The ice will help, and it will just take a little bit of time for the swelling to resolve. I would recommend speaking with your provider, as they will be able to provide you with the best advice. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Lip injections
Injection of filler into the lips is associated with swelling which can take up to 2 weeks to subside. Generally the swelling resolves gradually. You do have enough swelling that I would consult with your injector.

Juvederm in the lips
You are at leat 9 days out and the swelling should have subsided from bruising and inflammation. If you feel they are too plump and 'ducky' as you describe it, you should contact the provider - it is important during the injection to give the physician feedback as to how much is enough or too much and this can be done by having a mirror in your hand and looking at the work in progress.

Juvederm and swollen lips
You do have swelling and bruising from your Juvederm injections. It will take about 2 weeks to see the final result and if you are not happy, return to your doctor.

Swelling from Juvederm in the lips
It is always advisable to wait at least one and preferably two weeks for all of the swelling to resolve before assessing the results of filler injections, especially a hyaluronic acid filler like Juvederm. I always recommend waiting several weeks for the swelling to go down after the treatment before worrying about any long-term adverse effects or considering any "touch-up" treatments such as additional filler injections or reversing the treatment using hyaluronidase.

Lip Injections
Hi Penny. Sorry to hear about your situation. The swelling and bruising should subside in the next 3-7 days. If you are really concerned, you should send these photos to your injector to get reassurance. One syringe is not necessarily too much although you did have full lips at the start.
Things should improve drastically for you as the swelling goes down. Good luck.

Swelling after Juvederm
It appears that you have some blood collection or hematoma in the injection sites and dental block areas especially on the right side. I would suggest seeing your injecting physician for a check up. If you have any history of cold sores you may need to be placed on an antiviral medication like zovirax. The bruising under the tissues will slowly dissipate in the next week or two. I personally ask my patients to refrain from aspirin and aspirin containing compounds or other medications and...

When Will my Filled Lips Look Normal?
From the photos provided, it appears that you may have an injection hematoma where the Juvederm was injected into the upper lip on the right side. This will create a subsequent bruise that will slowly resolve over the next few weeks. You may want to avoid taking aspirin and other blood thinners for several weeks as well as strenuous exercise to avoid further bleeding into the lip. You should contact and be seen by the MD that did your Lip Augmentation with Juvederm...

Lip fillers
Relax and take a deep breath. The lips are often maximally swollen a day or two after filler,more than likely they will go down. Many patients come back two weeks later saying that their lips need more. One syringe is a good start for most and often two are necessary.

Swelling and bruising after lip augmentation with Juvederm
Thanks for providing the photos. Since you are only one day removed from Juvederm lip augmentation, you can expect some swelling and bruising from the procedure. If all you had is one syringe (I assume it's 1cc) most of the swelling and bruising may be from the process of injection rather than the filler itself. It's important to discuss your expectation before your procedure, not after. At this point you should wait for the swelling and bruising to subside. It may take 3 to 10 days for the...

Only less than 8 hours. Allow swelling to decrease for at least a week. Than if unhappy return to the injecting doc to discuss.

Juvederm and Lips
Before you have Juvederm carefully discuss this with your doctor. You must tell your doctor exactly what you want and both of you must agree. It is best to start with one syringe at a time. Some patients come and do nt even want lips done and end up with lips they do not like when their expectations were limited to the nasolabial folds. I like Juvederm, but there must be photos, discussion, and agreement. If you do not like...

Lips after lip fillers
Some people have a lot of swelling after their hyaluronic acid swelling, but this typically settles down in 3-5 days, and usually looks great by 2 weeks. That said, icing the lips in the first 48 hours is helpful, minimizing things that cause bruising & swelling (e.g. avoid hot tubs/jacuzzis/sauna, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol et), and sleeping on an extra pillow on your back. Worst case scenario, if the lips are too full after 2 weeks, your dermatologist can just inject the lips...

When will my filler look normal
Yes, you do have significant swelling and bruising. It will go down over the next 10-14 days. If at that point you feel you are overfilled, some can be removed with hyaluronidase. But I don't recommend anything be done until you've reached a two week period because you can end up taking too much out. Avoid aspirin, Aleve, Advil for a few days. You can continue to ice if you wish, but don't press hard on the area.

Lips dont last
The good news is Juvederm will not last that long in the lips and usually a few months at the longest. Much of your swelling could be post traumatic and if that is the case, it should go down over the first 10 days.
