Is it normal to not get any swelling at all with Juvaderm lip injections?

Most of the swelling that occurs after lip fillers is due to the needle injections and not so much the product. The products will pull in various amounts of fluid based on the brand. There is always some swelling that occurs after the injections, but it will be variable from person to person. Some clients actually like the swelling because it makes their lips appear more plump. Based on what you've told us, it's likely that you just aren't getting enough product to satisfy your goals. You may need more filler. I would follow up with your injecting physician and communicate your concerns with them. Best wishes.

everyone is different, some get more swelling, pain, and bruising than others. cannulas help limit pain and swelling.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Juvederm is a newer product. Similar to Restylane or Perlane, the Juvederm treatment offers very little downtime with some noticeable swelling that may last for several days. Always work with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. 

Best wishes,

The minimal swelling may be due to the technique used by the injector.  If the product isn't lasting as long you may want to check to see if the same filler is being used as you had with prior injectors.  Juvederm is the brand name of the filler, but there are many types available.  

So many variables with swelling, if patients get too much swelling, they are worried, if not at all they are indeed worried. It must be very unethical for anyone to falsely advertise both the product and the amount of product used. Even 'churn and burn' cosmetic laser clinics in Australia don't do that...and that is saying a lot, given the KPIs they need to meet. Most Specialists, at least I do, give the patient information about the procedure - namely the brand of filler. I always include the PI or Product Information sheet. This way its crystal clear what you have received. As for swelling vs minimal swelling, it is the method that counts the most- cannula vs needle, ice, and injection speed all count. Davin  Lim.
