Hi, I was injected with 1ml Volbella yesterday distributed over both lips. However it seems that they are uneven and very swollen. The swelling began immediately after injecting. The top lip seems larger than the bottom lip, hopefully this is just because of the swelling? I am very worried! Thank you in advance.

Answer: Volbella Bruising, swelling, sometimes discoloration, lumps, and bumps are normal side effects assuming proper injection. They will be gone in a matter of days. If it continues to feel uncomfortable, consult your doctor to get a complete assessment.

Answer: Lip Augmentation Thank you for your question and photos. Your lips are still swollen. I instruct all my patients prior to leaving the office that their lips will be swollen and possibly uneven for up to 10-14 days. For this reason, I have all my filler patients return at 2 weeks for their recheck. For severe swelling or those who have event coming up, I have used antihistamine like Zyrtec and anti-inflammatory like Prednisone to speed up healing. I suggest that you ice the swelling 5 minutes 5 times per day until resolved and wait 2 weeks to see how you like your final results and see your provider to discuss any revisions.
