12 hours after having one syringe of Juvéderm ultra injected I have MAJOR upper lip swelling. Any suggestions? (photo)

Thank you for your
question in regards to Juvederm. Swelling and bruising are common side effects of injectables, especially in the lips. Swelling can take up to two weeks to completely subside. After two weeks, if you are unhappy with your results, follow up with your injector. To be sure, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment. I hope this helps.

If this lasts more than 2 weeks reverse the filler. I suggest ice, NSAIDS, arnika for now and if worsens over next few days talk to your physician about antihistamines, prednisone, or to be evaluated.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Some people will get very swollen for a few days after filler, especially with Juvederm.  Use some ice today and take some ibuprofen. It will resolve.  

yes. this is not an entirely unusual response.  It does not happen all the time but it can.  Be patient.  It will resolve.  Ice is the best way to help this process.  Hang in there.Dr Vasisht

I would contact your injector and get evaluated.  A short course of steroid will help alleviate some of the swelling and yes, ice will help.  Good luck

Yes, it is common to have some swelling following Juvederm injections to the lips. Some people swell more than others. Try sleeping with your head elevated and icing your lips to help manage the swelling, and it should resolve on its own within a week or two. If it does not, visit your injector for a follow-up visit to determine a course of action.

Hello, and thanks for your question. I'm sorry you did not get the result you had hoped for. Post-filler swelling can take 1-2 weeks to fully subside, so it may be early to assess your final result. If you are not pleased with your final result, the product can be dissolved with injection of an enzyme called hyaluronidase.To maximize the likelihood of a favorable outcome, I recommend that you only get treated by a well-trained and experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Hope this opinion is helpful to you. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht. 

Juvaderm often causes an inflammatory response for the first 24-72 hours and then settles.  This is especially noticeable for lips.  If however it is lumpy or persists then you should return to see the injector for a reversing agent that can help dissolve the product.  In your case, I would wait at least one week to see if the appearance settles before entertaining any reversal.

Sleep on some pillows to keep your head above your heart. This will help with swelling. Also, drink plenty of water, decrease sodium intake and consider cold compresses. If the swelling doesn't improve, see your injector.

The swelling is always worse the morning after and has to do with laying down. I always instruct patients to sleep on 2-3 pillows to help with this. The swelling will gradually go down throughout the day but could be worse again after sleeping. Sometimes steroids can be used. You also have bruising which is contributing. I use a laser to improve the bruising. See link
