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.
