Are lips suppose to be this swollen after lip injections? I feel the entire area around my mouth is inflamed (Photo)

Yes, it is common to swell after lip injections.Things to know are:
1. The more times the needle goes into the lips, the more swelling there will be.
2. The more filler that's injected, the more swelling will occur.
3. Some patients swell badly and some don't swell at all. Just like everything else, there is a lot of variation among people.
4. Expect more swelling in the AM and less in the PM because of fluid shifting up and down with the pull of gravity.
5. Things you can do to minimize swelling are:
     i. Sleep propped up on pillows.
     ii. Minimize salt consumed in food and drink.
    iii. Avoid getting overheated. 
    iv. Apply cool compresses (not ice).
    v. Apply Arnica around mouth. Avoid getting in mouth.
    Realize that these suggestions will only help a bit and your body just needs to heal. 
   Carrying out the above recommendations will not effect final outcome, but just make you look less odd in the meanwhile.
I've been there (personally). Be patient.

Filler in lips can be a great way to create volume and shape; however, unfortunately swelling is a very common side effect.  Almost always starting 4 hours after filling and lasting a few days, swelling can be dramatic.  It is important to apply cold compresses regularly in the first few days to decrease this.   The amount of swelling can vary from person to person depending on the amount of filler used.  Best of luck.

Dear lpa2410,Juvederm has significant swelling post injection. I would follow up with you plastic surgeon but typically I tell all my patients to wait a full two weeks.  Generally at 2 weeks they are happy and glad they didn't dissolve.  Dissolving is unpredictable as well.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
