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: Swelling with lip injections -what's normal? Hello,As the other panel members suggested, you may be experiencing persistent swelling. However, after five days, if the swelling is not improving, we suggest you return to your injector to address your concerns. Swelling could also be aggravated if you are massaging or manipulating the area. Icing at this time will not offer much value. You may want to try over the counter Ibuprofen with Benadryl to "quiet down" the swelling.

Answer: Swelling Swelling and bruising are common after lip injections and can persist up to two weeks. Gentle massage of the firm areas may be helpful. If after two weeks you still have concerns, return to your injector for an evaluation.

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm--Lip Augmentation with Fillers (Restylane, Juvederm) or Lip Implant or Fat It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with lip augmentation. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

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
