I had my lip fillers done yesterday. I am so worried about the swelling! I can't remember it swelling like this last time.. I had 0.7 of juverderm injected in to my top lip yesterday, today my top lip is tender and looks shiny like it is going to burst.. I do tend to bruise and swell more than most people but I am very very worried!! Is this normal 12 hours after lip fillers?
Answer: Ice They are swollen which is normal, I would give it a few days and see how they look. You can also lightly hold ice on them to help.

Answer: Swelling after fillers to lips? I appreciate your concern, but it is a bit early to tell. Your photos demonstrate slight over-correction, which should settle down over the next week. Over-filling is a common problem with this procedure, usually prevented by conservative filling over 2 sessions, instead of pumping too much material during one session. After one week, if you are still concerned, than return to your doctor. Good luck!

Answer: Swelling after Lip Augmentation Thank you for your question. Yes, it is common to have some swelling and bruising after fillers for lip augmentation which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can apply cold compresses to the treated area(s) to help reduce swelling and bruising. It is also advisable to avoid any NSAID’s such as ibuprofen before and after treatment as they tend to thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising. If you have any other concerns please contact your injector. Best of Luck!
