Lips unusually swollen after Juvederm injections. Is this normal? (Photo)

January 18, 2015
Asked By:Josephine777 in Allen, TX

I've received them before and they have never been as swollen. They were painful and even a little itchy for a short while afterwards. The pain & itchiness have gone away but they are still unusually swollen. Ice does not seem to be working at all. It has been 15 hours, I've been getting lip injections for two years & have never had this reaction. I drank the night before, could this have affected it? I was also around cats right after. I had a small amount injected, should they be this swollen?

Answer: Try ice... If that doesn't work, try Benedryl.
