I had juvederm injections today. I went to a different person than my normal doctor because I was looking for a deal. She used 2 syringes of jervaderm and my bottom lip is super swollen and black and blue on one side. I cant smile without looking deformed bottom lip. I have been icing too. Is this swelling normal or should I be concerned ? I never had this selling before or bruising. I have attached photos.

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm you appear to have prominent swelling and some bruising. This is caused by the injection technique. Fortunately, it should resolve over the next few days (although sometimes it can take a week or two). If it doesn't please return to your injector to discuss your concerns. In the meantime, don't touch the area too much, refrain from taking supplements/medications that encourage bruising, and avoid extreme temperatures.

Answer: That is a lot of juvederm for one lip! You are pretty swollen at this point, and the bruising that you got will make this worse. IT will also make it look more uneven. Bruising is not uncommon in the lip, and with icing both the bruising and the swelling will improve. I would wait about 2 weeks to see how they look once the inflammation resolves. If still too big at that point you could use some hyaluronidase.

Answer: Juvederm: Deal or No Deal? Although there is no question that some of the swelling and all of the bruising are related to needle trauma from the procedure, two syringes of Juvederm is a rather large amount of filler to inject into the lips. In my estimation, circumstances where this produces aesthetically pleasing results are few and far between. Juvederm is a very hydrophilic filler, leading to a puffy/ watery look. In the right proportion, this can be attractive, but looks stigmatic when overdone. I would advise that you reconsider deals when having fillers. Proper injection technique and judgment are critical elements for experienced injectors. I would probably wait about 2 weeks prior to considering dissolving the filler with Vitrase.

Answer: Swelling after lip injection This amount of swelling is likely due to a small injury from the needle. It has created a bruise and associated swelling. I wouldn't panic at this point as it should come down with time. It will take a couple of weeks to fully come down. Lots of icing is key. Wait until at least the one month mark before you consider hyaluronidase.
