I was very sick and my lips were swollen for 3 days and as soon as they went down the bump stayed. It is painful and irritable to touch. I contacted the lady who did my lip filler and her doctor and they prescribed antibiotics and I’ve been taking for four days and the irritated spot is still here.

Hello and thank you for your question. In this questions its vital you contact your injector asap for a face to face assessment.
We hope that answers your question. Best wishes
From your description it sounds as though you had a reaction to the injections themselves versus the Juvederm product. While it is not typical, this reaction can occur. Depending on the severity some patients can control it with distraction techniques, cool compresses, or positioning.
The lips are a very vascular area and are therefore prone to bruising and swelling. What you describe is significant but not worrisome. Some ice packs and patience will allow your lip swelling to settle in the next few days. Hope that helps. Regards, Adam Goodwin.
