Hey all, I've been getting Lip injections for two years straight now. Since my 18th Birthday I've been getting them and I NEVER had any problems until now. About 2-3 days ago the complete right side of my upper lip started swelling and hurting out of nowhere i didnt get hurt did nothing for it to swell up and hurt my lips are totally uneven now. The Doc who did my Lips told me it's nothing I should worry about and he could even out my lips by adding more filler to my left upper lip side
Answer: Lip Lift Thank you for your question. I suggest that you return to your injector and board certified facial plastic surgeon because post-op swelling would not continue up to and through three months after the procedure. Best wishes,

Answer: Lip Augmentation Uneven after 3 Months Hi and thank you for your question! Swelling right after lip injection is quite uncommon but for swelling occurring 3 months later, there should be some reasons other than post-injection swelling. It could be related or totally unrelated to the injection, so I highly recommend that you do a follow up with your doctor to make sure there is no other issue in need of attention. I wouldn't recommend more filler injections until you figured out what is the cause for swelling. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: His could be an infection and your filler may need to be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Thank you for your question. It is not common to have swelling 3 months after lip injections. This could be an infection and your filler may need to be dissolved with hyaluronidase. I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation and treatment. Best of Luck!

Answer: Lip Augmentation Uneven After 3 Months, What Can I Do? Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Swelling 3 months after treatment is uncommon. The first thing that must be done is to identify the source of the swelling during an in-person consultation. One possible source is infection. It is never a good idea to receive injections (filler or hyaluronidase) while swelling is present. Please be sure to see an expert injector as soon as possible for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and to determine the best treatment plan. Hope this helps and best wishes!

Answer: You're a symmetry is very minimal! Hi! Thank you so much for the question. I have to honestly mention that the amount of asymmetry on your lips are very minimal. However I am more concerned about the fact that you said you do have pain. If you are experiencing pain without touching the lips and if the pain is moderate to severe I will definitely see the doctor. If not and if the asymmetry is the only issue, as minimal as it is if you want to make it more equal I do agree with what your doctor said, that he or she can add more filler to one side to equal it out.
