Hi, I got my lips done yesterday and woke up this morning to super swollen, almost cartoonish looking lips. My lips swelled immediately after getting the injections but went down a little an hour or so later. I know swelling is normal but is this amount of swelling normal? Thanks!
Answer: I have super swollen lips after 1 syringe of Juvederm Vollure, is this normal? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and congratulations on your lip augmentation! Swelling after filler placement into the lips is quite common due to the thin nature of the tissues. This swelling, and your results, will steadily improve over the next 10-14 days. It often takes up to 2 weeks for fillers to soften and the tissues to appear more natural. In the meantime try reducing the swelling by using cold compresses to your lips and elevating your head at night with a couple of extra pillows behind your back. You may want to also consider using Arnica Montana and bromelain as supplements. Hang in there!

Answer: Swelling Swelling and bruising are common after lip injections and can persist up to two weeks. You can apply ice intermittently to the area and keep your head elevated for the first few days to help minimize the swelling. Some patients are feel the supplement bromelain is beneficial.

Answer: Swelling after Juvaderm Dear Lady_wood007,Thank you for your question and photos. I am sorry you are having some concerns with your Juvaderm injections. Swelling after injections is normal and can last for up to two weeks. The swelling may be worse the day after the injection due to laying flat during sleep.I would recommend using ice and keeping head elevated as much as possible. Arnica may help as well. If the swelling does not subside after two weeks, I would recommend meeting with the original injector to have the fillers dissolved. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Answer: Lip fillers Swelling after lip fillers is common. There are several ways to reduce swelling: sleeping with head up, ice packs, arnica etc. I recommend no doing anything and you will be surprised how quickly the swelling with start subsiding. Its not very comfortable to put ice packs on lips or even arnica.

Answer: Swelling after Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) Yes, there can be some swelling after lip injections which can last 1-2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling. If you're unhappy with your final results you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Swelling after lip injections Thank you for your question and photos. Unfortunately, swelling post-lip fillers is very common, and expected. After the first night's sleep, swelling increases due to the flat-laying position, and you'll wake up more swollen than immediately after the procedure. Ice packs and over-the-counter antihistamines can help decrease swelling. In addition, Arnica may add some relief. It takes about 2 weeks for all the swelling to subside.
