My wedding is two weeks from my appointment date. My doctor, whom I adore and trust, says that is more than enough time to heal. However, I've never had lip injections before, and I do tend to bruise a lot in my lower face. AND I'm prone to cold sores. I've been taking arnica and Valtrex this week, but I'm getting nervous because time is at a premium. I want to look beautiful for my wedding, but I'm wondering if the risk is worth it. Is two weeks enough healing time from lip injections? I've been taking

Answer: Lip Swelling After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane Swelling and bruising are both common after lip injections, I tell my patients to allow 10-14 days for all swelling to resolve. Most likely you would be fine and the swelling would be gone by your wedding day, but that is something you will have to consider. It also does not allow time for any correction of asymmetry or volume. Congrats on your big day! Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: I don’t recommend lip injections so soon before your wedding. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Under normal circumstances, 2 weeks would be ample time to recover from the initial swelling and bruising involved with lip injections. However, I wouldn’t suggest risking a new cosmetic treatment right before your special day. Although the chance of complication is rare, 2 weeks would not be a sufficient amount of time for any necessary touch-ups or corrections. If you had 4 weeks before you walked down the aisle, I’d say go for it. But in your case, play it safe and steer clear of lip injections.
