I had them injected with Juvederm and my left side of upper lip is fatter than my right side 5 days ago, they look so ugly and I don't look like myself. they feel pretty hard too. any idea when will the swelling go down. I'm thinking about diffusing Juvederm.

Answer: I have duck lips after Juvederm, when will I look normal? Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that your current results have caused you concern. Swelling after filler placement into the lips is quite common due to the thin nature of the tissues. This swelling, and your results, will steadily improve over the next 10-14 days. It often takes up to 2 weeks for fillers to soften and the tissues to appear more natural. In the meantime try reducing the swelling by using cold compresses to your lips and elevating your head at night with a couple of extra pillows behind your back. You may want to also consider using Arnica Montana and bromelain as supplements. Hang in there!

Answer: Lips are Swollen after Juvederm Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to have swelling after Juvederm injection, especially within the first few days after injection. I usually will tell my patients to expect approximately 72 hours of swelling, and you should start to see a full resolution at 5 days, now. If this does not fully resolve, be sure to discuss with your injector as you may need a small amount of hyaluronidase on the fuller side. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
