Question

How long should i wait till the swollen lips disappear? And will my lips look different once it wears off? Coz i miss my natural shape

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

Typically, Juvederm Ultra will swell after injection. This filler is hydrophilic meaning it loves water. The filler should become less swollen. Since the filler is an HA, it can be reversed with vitrase. However, you may want to give your lips some time to settle down to see how they look in a few days. Typically, filler in the lips does not last as long as filler in other locations in the face.

Cheryl A. Hull, MD · Answer

It is very normal to have swelling after having your lips injected. Many patients experience swelling up to 5-7 days post treatment. The swelling will go down, and your natural lip shape will probably improve. I would not expect major changes though. The beauty of Juvederm is that it is an instant filler, so you leave looking alot like the end result. I would give it some more time, ice and gentle massage, and consult your injector in 2-4 weeks for follow up.

Depending on the technique, swelling can last up to a week. I would recommend that you wait and see the final result before you decide if you want correction or dissolving with hyaluronidase. I almost always use blunt cannulas for my lip enhancements because the swelling is minimized. Steve Weiner, MD, Destin, Florida

Laura E. Skellchock, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

with time....since hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm draw water in after the injection, swelling is relatively common. This is why I inject a little less than what is needed; I know additional volume will develop due to the influx of water. The swelling should be much better after a week, in the meantime you can use ice packs and make sure you sleep with your head elevated above your heart, and avoid salty foods.
