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: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Swelling After Lip Filler One day after treatment is too soon to be able to accurately assess your result. Usually swelling has gone by 2 weeks, however, we would recommend 4 weeks before adding any more product. If you are unhappy with the result once swelling has gone down I would recommend returning to the clinic who performed your lip filler for a review appointment. Hopefully you were consented re the risks and swelling etc is a normal process but can be limited with good after care.

Answer: Volbella to upper lip appears uneven. Volbella to upper lip injected 24 hrs ago may have a little bit of swelling. This is such a nice and thin HA filler that in 2 weeks or less you will be better able to assess. At that time, you may actually want a little more injected to give it more volume and symmetry. Be patient for now because it is too soon to jump to conclusions.

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.
