I got volbella injections this morning. I was told to massage hard lumps. But now I have swelling. I know some is normal. But I'm concerned about the uneven swelling on one side. I have prednisone at home. Should I use that along with ice?

Answer: Volbella Swelling I would recommend to wait at least two weeks before attempting any treatments or massage. Your body needs this time to heal itself. The shape of the lip may also change as well once the swelling goes down. After two weeks if the lips are still uneven schedule a follow up with your injector to discuss where to go from there. At that time it will be determined if more product is needed or or some may need to be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Best of luck!

Answer: Swelling after lip injections Thank you for your question. Swelling after lip enhancement is common and this will subside over several days. Occasionally this swelling may appear slightly uneven, despite the fact that the final result is symmetric. Cool compresses can be helpful for the first 48 hours in helping to reduce bruising and swelling. You could also gently massage these areas that you are concerned about, gently rolling the lip between your thumb and forefinger while working back and forth over the area that is uneven. You should be able to disperse and mold the Juvéderm to provide improvement.
