I recently had 1ml of juvederm between both lips. I had a small amount of swelling, just a bruised lump on my lower lip. 6 days on my bottom lip is still sore and I have what can only be described as pouches below my lower lip.They weren't this obvious straight after the procedure, I did have these when my lips were thin but never to this extreme. Is it still swollen? Thanks

Answer: Lips and Swelling I would wait two weeks to evaluate the full results since most products such as Juvederm cause swelling which will go away with some time. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Final Result After Juvederm Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Sorry that you are having some concerns about your postprocedure appearance. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to see your final result. Swelling and bruising after filler injection is normal, especially in the lips. Icing can help for up to 48 hours postprocedure. Arnica can also help to minimize postprocedure swelling and bruising. My best advice would be to give it a full 2 weeks to allow for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising to resolve and to see your final result. At that point, if you continue to have any concerns, please see your injector for an in-person reevaluation in order to best address your concerns and to determine the best course of action. Best wishes!
