5 days after Juvederm in my lips they are swollen and bruised. Do I have an infection? (photo)

Thanks for the question.  Swelling can persist for a week or longer after lip augmentation.  The white around the lips is actually the white roll which is normal, it just looks more pronounced since it was augmented.  I would recommend vaseline or chapstick and see your injector.  If you have a history of cold sores, you should have been on a mediation before injection to prevent an outbreak which can be painful.  Good Luck"The above answer has been given without seeing this

Hello Noah123456,The lips tend to have a lot of swelling when injected with fillers.  The more that was injected the greater that swelling can be.  Because the lips have such a great blood supply (one of the reasons they have their color), they are prone to bruise.  Some people will also describe more of a chapped sensation following filler injection.  The white rim you see is also normally present, but now that your lips are augmented it is more noticeable.It can take about 2 weeks for the swelling and bruising to go away but usually it is much faster than that.Now if you are having a burning sensation or noticing any blisters, this can be the sign of an outbreak of a virus which would require treatment.   If you do have any concerns the best thing is to follow up with your injector.  I hope this helps and good luck.
