Fat Injection to Lips- How to Reduce Swelling?

June 16, 2012
Asked By:Ambershep

I had rhinoplasty and fat injections to my lips done almost 4 weeks ago. I was very bruised and swollen because I bled a lot. My nose looks beautiful now! However, the center of my top lip is still really swollen. It's very pointy and hasn't been going down as much as other spots on my lips. In the last three days it doesn't appear to have changed at all. My doctor told me i just had excessive swelling there. Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process? Things I should avoid?
