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: 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.
