How much of this is swelling? So I got a vial of jevederm injected into my lips yesterday! I have been very apprehensive to do this as I have heard horror stories. The Dr. only put about .2 ml into my bottom lip and it seems to be fine. The rest was used in my top lip and she made about 5 injections on the top lip. I have 2 firm and pretty large lumps on the top and some unevenness along with some pretty extreme bruising. These pics show progression between yesterday and this morning.
Answer: Swelling and Lumps after lip augmentation (volbella, juvederm, restylane)--Wait 2 weeks, reverse with hyaluronidase if unhappy Yes, this can be typical with needle injections. There can be some swelling and/or lumps after lip injections which can last 1-2 weeks. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. If you're unhappy with your final results you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Does this look normal after .6ml of Juvederm in the top lip and .2ml in the bottom? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Due to the thin nature of the tissues of the lips they are prone to swelling. Unfortunately you had some bleeding as a result of your lip injections which has magnified the typical swelling of filler placement. This will resolve spontaneously but may take 2-3 weeks for complete resolution. I would recommend cold compresses to your lips, sleeping with your head slightly elevated, and using oral/topical arnica and bromelain to help speed your healing. Hope this helps.

Answer: It is common to have swelling, bruising and lumps after lip augmentation, which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve Thank you for your question. It is common to have swelling, bruising and lumps after lip augmentation, which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. In the meantime, you can ice or use cold compresses to help minimize swelling and gently massage the lumps to help smooth them out. Also, you can take Arnica to help resolve bruising faster. If you are unhappy with your final results you can have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. Best of Luck!

Answer: Swelling and bruising after Juvederm Thank you for your question and for submitting your photos. The lips are a particularly sensitive area, and are prone to swelling and bruising that can last up to 2 weeks after filler injections. Moreover, the Juvederm itself can feel hard or lumpy immediately after injection - typically, as the Juvederm absorbs water, it softens and blends into the skin. That said, you do appear to have a little more bruising than I typically anticipate with lip filler injections. Gently applying ice or cool compresses to your lips may help the swelling resolve sooner. It may be worthwhile to follow-up with your injector to discuss your concerns, as certain lasers can help bruising fade faster. If in two weeks you are still noticing swelling or lumpiness, your injector may be able to gently massage out any remaining lumps, or dissolve them with hyaluronidase. Best of luck!
