What to Expect from Swelling After Juvederm for Lips?

Typically puffiness and bruising resolves in 7-10 days but varies from patient to patient. Arnica gel will assist in the healing process. Each patient heals differently,and for that reason it is a personal preference if you would be able to go back to work the same day.

Firstly, every patient is unique, and every session is unique. The swelling after fillers to the lips is really instantaneous, and is usually maximal in the hours after having the procedure. If you ice the area immediately after a session, and ice on and off at home this will definitely help to reduce and minimize swelling. The swelling typically goes down significantly within 2-3 days. A good tip is to avoid lip gloss in the days following a filler session for the lips, using lip gloss tends to accentuate the lips and gives the illusion of them being larger. Use a matte lip stick, or lip balm for the next 2 days.

It’s not unusual for patients to experience swelling
immediately following Juvederm lip injections. In most cases, this swelling has resolved in 24 hours, but may persist
for up to 3 to 5 days in rare cases.Lip
swelling following treatment with Juvederm can be a major source of anxiety for
cosmetic surgery patients. It’s
important to remember that swelling resolves with the passage of time and the
majority of patients are ultimately happy with their result.Ice
compresses prior to and after injections can help minimize swelling following
these procedures. When patients have
important events in their lives Juvederm injections should be performed at
least two weeks in advance.If

discuss this issue with your physician. Your physician should be able to formulate a treatment plan to address
your concerns.
