Answer: You May Have Inflammation - Check Up Required
I would not worry. Bruising and swelling of the lips is very common after injection. Swelling can last a few days after treatment as bruising can last 7-10 days. Icing the area can help reduce swelling. Please contact your treating physician if the swelling does not go down or gets worse.
It is normal to have some swelling after lip injections. I recommend massaging the area a few times a day. Swelling should subside after two weeks. If then you are still unhappy you can have it dissolved with hyaluronidase.
Swelling can last up to two weeks. If after two weeks you are still experiencing lumps then it is probably filler. I recommend having this corrected with hyaluronidase.
