After Juvederm the Area Between my Upper Lip and Nose is Huge and Swollen.

March 1, 2011
Asked By:black and blue duck lady in St. Augustine

I had Juvederm injected yesterday to treat the vertical lines that formed when I puckered between my nose and upper lip. The area is HUGE(and bruised). It looks like I have cotton balls stuffed up in the area between my lips and nose. Will this "swelling" dissipate? Is this normal? Also, I now know I should've avoided Nsaids, Vit E etc but didn't. What can I do NOW to help treat the bruising quickly? Thanks! K
