Had Juvederm 6 days ago 1.6mls into both lips. Lips still very sore, a bit numb, hard and tight. Will this improve?

Question

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, these side effects can be typical after lip filler. Icing, cold compresses and ibuprofen can help. I recommend you wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. It can take 1-2 weeks after lip injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi Weevikki.Congratulations on your recent Juvederm! It looks great, but it sounds like it feels tight and swollen. I believe this situation will improve and I have attached a video discussing some ways to get the swelling down in the link below.However,  I suggest you speak directly with your injection/physician before starting massage or Arnica/Bromelain.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Isobel Walker, MBBS · Answer

Yes, this is normal. Lips can take up to 2 weeks to settle. Give it time and reassess. Sometimes arnica can help - occasionally premedications BEFORE filling such as antihistamines or predinisione can reduce future swelling. Physicians often prescribe these pre-meds to reduce the chances of swelling in the future. All the best, Dr Isobel Walker. Fiori Institute. Brisbane. Australia.

1.6 ml of juvederm is a bit high for the first treatment but you still have a nice result and I'm sure that over the next couple of weeks the swelling that you're feeling and tightness will dissipate. Good luck from New York City
