First time lip fillers, help. Will this go down more in the next couple of days?

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos.   Swelling and bruising are normal after filler injections.  Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to allow post procedural swelling and bruising to resolve and to see your final result.  Icing is beneficial for up to 24 hours after the procedure.  Arnica ( Arnika Forte is absolutely Great) is also helpful for minimizing normal post procedure swelling and bruising if you start taking it 2-3 days before the injection and continue for 3 days after the procedure alone with pineapple juice.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  I am sorry to hear that your current results are not what you anticipated, but rest assured these symptoms will get better over the next 10 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!

Hi Laura. 
Congratulations on trying dermal fillers! You look normal, but swollen. Your lips probably feel numb because the products have lidocaine which numbs the lips, but makes the injection much more comfortable.
Your swelling will go down. See my video below for things you can do to reduce swelling faster.
Always make an appointment with your injector for 2 to 3 weeks after your injection to address any concerns. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

As with all skin injection procedures, there is always a risk of bruising and swelling that can occur.  These temporary side effects generally resolve themselves within one to two weeks. An ice pack can be applied gently to the site to help your swelling. I would suggest following up with your board certified plastic surgeon two weeks following your injectable treatment. 

Don’t worry—the swelling that you’re experiencing seems to be a normal side effect that many people see in the first few days after lip injections. You should start to see these symptoms gradually diminishing on their own within the next week to ten days. If you’re still unhappy with your results once all swelling has gone down, you can talk with your plastic surgeon’s office about having the JUVÉDERM® dissolved and returning your lips to their normal appearance. At this point, though, I wouldn’t worry. 

Thanks for your question and the photos – we always recommend that you have these injections performed in the offices of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and it is imperative that everyone receives instructions on what will happen normally after your injections – which is swelling which can last up to two weeks.  One can use ice on the areas but it can take up to two weeks to see the final results.  If at that time you are not happy, one can have hyaluronidase injected to remove the filler and you can start over.  You need to find the right provider and have the proper instructions prior to and after your injections.

Hang in there. The swelling from the fillers can last 2 to 3 days. Sometimes up to 10 days especially if there is bruising. Applying ice the first day or so can be helpful. It should diminish...be patient.If you have any concerns see your injector.

Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to experience swelling after filler injections, however this should resolve in the next 2 weeks. I always advise my patients to ice the treated area to help resolve swelling. You can also gently massage the swollen area to help smooth it out. Please consult your injector if this persists after two weeks. All the best! 

Hi, swelling from hyaluronic acid fillers in the lips is the most common side effect with lip injections. Usually the swelling is greatest the first 24-48 hours after the procedure and it subsides greatly over 7-10 days.  If you have any concerns regarding the outcome, please follow up with your injecting physician for re-evaluation and touch ups as needed.

Hi Laura,
After Juvederm, lips can swell significantly. I would recommend you wait a full two weeks and then check with your doctor if you are still unhappy. Juvederm is completely reversible and some of it can be dissolved if you are not completly happy.
