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: 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.
