I had a touch up in my bottom lip 12 hours ago today for Juverderm and it is now swollen like a balloon and looks awful. It also feels heavy and foreign. My original injection was just two weeks ago. I've been icing like crazy but they just seem to get worse. What can I do?

Answer: Swelling There isn't much you can do that you aren't already doing. You really just need to give your body time to heal. The swelling will resolve but as you know, it can take 2 weeks.

Answer: Juvederm Lip Injections -- Massive Swelling Thank you for sharing your photos and your concerns. It is normal to have swelling (edema) following injections with a hydrophilic filler such as Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus. The amount of edema depends on a variety of factors including your predisposition to a histamine response (think of hives, hay fever, etc), the amount of filler, and the type of hyaluronic acid filler injected. The good news is your cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon can prescribe Lasix to rapidly resolve the swelling caused by the Juvederm. Please call him or her. Best of luck,Suneel Chilukuri, M.D.Houston, Texas
