How long should I expect swelling to last after Vollure XC?

Question

I am having Vollure XC to reduce my Bertie smokers lines. I am not having a lip enhancement, just the vertical lines. How long should I expect the swelling to be noticeable? Thank you!

Hi and thanks for your question.Swelling is not uncommon after injectables, and it can take up to 2 weeks for the swelling to settle down.Sleep with your head elevated, drink lots of water, and you can use arnica topically to help the swelling go down.Have a wonderful day!Dr. Taghizadeh

Hi Gatsby76,
Great questions.  Swelling and bruising can last up to 10-14 days after filler injection. Every patient is different and it is sometimes hard to predict.  It is always best to plan for a worst case scenario.  The more you ice after the injections the better off you will be.
Best,
Dr. Paquet

Swelling can last 1-2 weeks after filler injections. I would wait a full 2 weeks before assessing results. 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

Swelling can be typical and may last 1-2 weeks after injections. Icing and cold compresses may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results.
I hope this helps!
