I had my lips injected today with juvederm and am wondering if appearance is due to swelling. My lower lip in the corner area on one side is fuller than the other side. I don't know if this could be just swelling or if perhaps I was injected with too much too far into the corner. My question is within 8 hrs after injections would I have a good picture of evenness of my lips or due to swelling is it hard to tell. Thank you.
Answer: Too much Juvederm? Wait 24 hours, then freak out (just kidding)
Your question has probably been answered by now as you can usually tell within 24 hours after Juvederm injections whether there is too much (as long as there has not been excessive bleeding or hematoma formation). If there is too much or if it is asymmetric, it can be dissolved with Widase or Vitrase. Just avoid permanent fillers in your lips. Be well.

Answer: Swelling after lip injections Thank you for your question. When dermal filler is injected into the delicate tissue of the lips, swelling is almost inevitable. This side effect can certainly detract from the final result you will eventually enjoy after your treatment. The good news is swelling usually only lasts a few days, although some patients have some residual swelling for up to a week. Cold compresses can help to relieve the swelling. If you are not completely satisfied with your results two weeks after your procedure, that would be the time to contact your injector to schedule a follow-up. At that point, your injector can either add some more filler or use an enzyme to dissolve part of your filler to enhance your results. Always work with a very experienced, board-certified injector to ensure the best possible outcome.

Answer: Juvederm Swelling Because Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid, it typically causes swelling. Swelling should go down in about a week. If you still find you lips to be asymmetrical after that time, I recommend going back to your provider to ensure there are no complications. In the meantime, you can use a cold compress.

Answer: I had my lips injected today with Juvederm and am wondering if appearance is due to swelling Bruising and swelling are common after filler injections and can persist up to two weeks. It may help to use ice intermittently and to keep your head slightly elevated (sleep on a couple of pillows) for the first few days. If you still have concerns after two weeks, return to your injector for an evaluation.

Answer: Juvederm swelling Hi thank you for your question! To some degree most patients will swell after the Juvederm injection treatment. Just the trauma of canula or needle in a vascular muscular location will cause the swelling effect. Bruising is also not an uncommon result. In some patients with severe swelling, IM or oral steroid also helps. But most importantly, it’s time and individual variances that affect the length of swelling. Remember, it might take up to two weeks for it to fully resolve.
