It's been three days post getting Juvaderm fillers and one side of my upper lip seems to be a lot more swollen and firm than the other. I read taking arnicare pills can help with the discomfort, is this accurate? If not, what else should I do?

Answer: Lip augmentation After practicing plastic surgery for many years, I have come to a personal conclusion that arnica products do not do anything to help with the swelling or bruising. But again this is my opinion. I don't believe there have been any studies done that show that there is a different reaction when arnica is being used versus when it's not. I think swelling in the lips is related primarily to the patient's reactions and the technique The Physician is using. My patients rarely have swelling past 4 days following the treatment. Good luck from New York City

Answer: Arnicare Arnica Montana is a homeopathic herb that does help minimize inflammation and bruising. Patients often take the sublingual supplement prior to injection and utilize the gel post injection. You can typically find it in the arthritis section in the drugstore. Hope that helps!
