On 12.5.18 I had 1ml of Revolax filler in my top & bottom lip. 2 days ago I had 0.5ml in my top lip only, as my bottom lip had more volume. I have extreme swelling & I am very worried that something has gone wrong this time as I didn’t have swelling this extent the first time. My top lip sticks out so much more than my bottom lip, I look like a duck. I look awful & I just want to cry. I have slept with my head elevated & iced it as much as I can, the bruising has gone but not the swelling?

Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to have to have some swelling, bruising and lumps after lip injections which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can apply cold compresses to the treated area to help reduce swelling and bruising. If this does not get better in 2 weeks, please...
Thanks for sharing your experience. I always suggest you discuss concerns with your injector! I don’t see anything abnormal in the photos, but that’s not a substitute for an examination. See my video link on managing swelling after injections.
