I had Juvederm done to even out my top lip (there was a dip) and a little bit in my bottom just for symmetry. Right after I was told they’d be a little smaller than how they are now. I didn’t swell much at all but my top lip looks a little bit like a duck and last night my friend told me it looked like I was stung by a bee. Will it get better? Is it worth just waiting out? Can Zyrtec help with the swelling?
Answer: Swelling 4 days after Juvederm It is normal to see some swelling especially for a few days following your injection, and it is not uncommon for that swelling to be worse in some areas. The swelling from the injection should go down after about two weeks at which point your lips will look better. You may want to ice your lips to help reduce the swelling or you can contact your physician immediately as some physicians will prescribe anti-inflammatories or steroids to help reduce swelling. After two weeks, if your lips are overfilled to your taste or you continue to have concerns, I would recommend scheduling a follow up visit with your provider to go over your results. Your provider can dissolve your filler, but that is a discussion best to have in person.

Answer: Swelling after lip injections Hello and thank you for your question. Swelling asymmetrically after lip injections is very common. Give your lips 2 weeks to settle. By that time swelling should be gone and you can make a final decision. If asymmetry is still present follow up with injector. If at any point prior to the 2 weeks your uncomfortable or nervous about your result, contact your injector and possibly go in for follow up. Your provider should be happy to reassure you, piece of mind is a wonderful thing! Good luck to you! hope this helps.......
