I need some advice. I had juverderm put into my top lip yesterday and immediately i was upset with the result. I felt too much was put in just for my upper lip, my lips are very swollen today and i can feel a large lump behind the left side of my upper lip, almost under my nose. Is this normal? Ive had juv in my lips twice before and not had this much swelling or pain. The nurse said i have nothing to worry about n the swelling will go down, i dont trust her memore

Answer: Juvederm in lips
It is not abnormal to have significant swelling from Juvederm injected into the lips and lip area. Peak swelling can happen around day 3-4 post-treatment, and even then can still take some time to settle down. Using ice and having patience - then following up with the provider after 7-10 days is what I'd recommend.

Answer: How much is too much filler in the lip
Typically speaking, 1 syringe of filler is good enough for many people. That said, in some patients I will use half a syringe, and in others 1.5 syringes. There is often lip swelling and bruising after injection, and so the end result should not be judged for at least 2 weeks. At that point, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve any excess filler if that is the case. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
