How long does the swelling typically last in Juvederm?

Thank you for your question. It is very common for the lips to look
over corrected or fake the next day. I often tell my patients that this
is the "oh my gosh" day. This is due to all the swelling
that ensues. It may last a few days with every day showing a decrease
in swelling. The more you ice the first day or two, the less swelling
you will have. I would wait a few days to a week and then return to
your injector if you still have concerns after that. If you like the
look of the lips at some point during the swelling reduction, then take a
picture. This way you know what volume you like in the lips for the
future.

It’s not unusual for patients to experience swelling immediately
following Juvederm lip injections. In some cases, 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. In your
case, swelling eight hours after Juvederm injection wouldn’t be considered
unusual. It’s therefore important to be patient. In the short term ice compresses might be
helpful.If
you’re concerned about swelling following Juvederm injections it’s important to
discuss this issue with your physician. Your physician should be able to
formulate a plan that addresses your concerns.

You will probably experience some swelling, redness, discomfort and possibly bruising during the first few days following the injection. Most of this settles down within 3 days. Occasionally, the swelling can last up to one week. It is concentrated in the area of injection.
