How do I know what the lasting result will be after Juvederm in lips?

People respond differently to lip fillers and the same patient may experience different results in terms of swelling, firmness, lumpiness and bruising at different treatment sessions.Usually I find Juvederm to feel softer than some other fillers,  but some firmness takes a while longer to soften after any filler especially if there is a bruise in the plane of injection under the surface that can't be seen. Sometimes  there can be firmness for more than 2-4 weeks. If there is any tenderness or increased swelling one should see their provider to ensure there is no infection but that is an  extremely rare event.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs. 

It’s safe to say that on the average patient, you’re swollen at 4 days. Once you get to 3 weeks after the injection then you can evaluate your size as the vast majority of the swelling should be gone by then! Good luck. Dr. Aldo

Hello,Thank you for your question.Swelling after lip injections is very common due to the vascularity of the lips. Swelling and bruising can take up to 2 weeks to fully resolve. Mild tenderness with pursing and firmness is typically within normal limits 4 days after lip filler and likely you still have some swelling present. Most patients should notice slight volume reduction as swelling resolves and the product will continue to soften. I encourage you to allow 2 weeks for full healing and if there are still concerns at that time, follow up with your injector.Hope this helps!
