Can someone suggest me what should I do to prevent the swelling. Or should I visit the doctor immediately? It is my first time having fillers. Will they always look like this. They look disgusting :( Thank you

Answer: Lip augmentation with Juvederm You are very swollen, which is okay for some patients. However, 1.8 cc's of filler in the first treatment is an excessive amount (my opinion). Give your lips 1 to 2 weeks for the swelling to go down and hopefully you will be happy with the proportions of your lips. Good luck from New York City

Answer: Lips ad filler You are very right. Yes, swelling is part of lip injection but your is dramatic. You have received very large volume of fillers and you have absolutely all rights to be upset. It is a common practice to push as much product as possible to sell as much as possible without regard to aesthetics or potential complications. Fortunately, those injectors represent a rapidly disappearing fraction of doctors. Always ask for your injector's before and after photos of previous cases. It will take you a brief moment, one look at the results, and you will know if it is appropriate for you. The best way to find someone is through the word of mouth. Avoid marketing, ads and self promotions! Meanwhile, apply ice and treat your lips gently. You should also notify your injector. If after several days you are still not satisfied, your filler can be rapidly reversed with enzyme hyaluronidase. It shouldn't cost you anything to dissolve it. If you get to this point you should insist of having your money back. It is not your fault. It is not filler's fault. You didn't have un unexpected "reaction" to filler. What you have is the most common consequence of ....filler abuse. It was your first injection and, I assume, you have completely relied on you injector's expertise. I'm sorry it happened to you! It shouldn't! Good luck!
