It is swollen but i am in pain i cannot really eat as well sip through a straw and hurts when i talk. I am icing for the swelling to go down. But just wondering if this is normal?
Answer: Swelling after Lip Injections Hello and thank you for your question. From the pictures, it looks like normal post injection swelling. Swelling is a common minor adverse event that can occur after the injection of dermal fillers (or anytime a needle is placed into the skin) and it can be asymmetrical. Fortunately, this is temporary and there are ways to help minimize the effects. It is still early after injection, so a few days of icing and intermittent massage may solve the problem.

Answer: Lip Augmentation Thank you for your question. I suggest that you review your recovery instructions and expectations with your board certified facial plastic surgeon and medical team. You are likely to experience swelling in the immediate moments following the procedure, and you can begin to notice your improvement as your swelling subsides.

Answer: Is this normal? Lip augmentation results Yes, this can be typical after lip filler. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.

Answer: Swelling after Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) Yes, this can be typical. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. Icing, cold compresses and ibuprofen can give improvement. 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

Answer: Lip injections - what to expect Lips always swell a lot, as they are very sensitive and vascular structures. Regardless of whether you inject with a needle or a canula (my preferred method), the lips will swell for the first 24-48 hours. The lips will never wind up bigger than they were at the end of the injection, as filler doesn't grow. Any increase you see is due to swelling. It can take 2 full weeks for lip filler to settle. I suggest you ice the lips a lot for the first 1-2 days. If sever swelling occurs, then consider taking an oral steroid or using steroid cream.
