Should I feel filler and should above my lip, between my nose be swollen? I had 1ml Teoxane filler yesterday the lady who done my filler is a registered nurse. The swelling is a concern for me right now. My top lip Is sticking out and over my bottom lip, and also is swollen between my top lip and nose area making me look like I have another lip on top of another lip. I can also feel little bumps, which I was told would soften in a weeks time. More filler was injected into my top lip than the bottom, I don’t want to end up with my top lip sticking out and over.

Answer: Right now this looks like a lip shelf. The lower lip should always be stronger than the upper lip. Filler services are not commodity services. You are being sculpted by the injector. Some injectors are great. Others are not so great. I personally to not like the filler you received. Teoxane is a runny filler in my opinion and it seems to have more swelling than other products. My preferred product for this application is Restylane. Let this service settle for 1 week. If it is still not right, it will need to be modified or removed. I suspect your nurse injector will not really be able to help you with this.

Answer: Should my top lip appear bigger than my bottom lip? Hi chelsxx,The swelling is uncomfortable and may look excessive but unless there is blanching or magenta-colored discoloration, you are fine. The amount of swelling can be substantial yet you can end up with beautiful results. Follow your post-op instructions. expect the swelling and bumpiness to subside within a week or two. Go for a treatment follow-up within 15 days so your Injector can check the progress.
