1 Day Post Lip Augmentation: Partial and Uneven Swelling

Patients typically experience some minor swelling that lasts a
day or two. In rare cases, there could be minor bruising. Some patients bruise
more easily than others. Some medications, if taken regularly, can increase the
risk of bruising as well (fish oil, aspirin, vitamin e, etc.). Any bruising
should be easily masked with make-up. Results are immediate, so you will notice
instant improvement!

Restylane can produce swelling in the lip as can Juvaderm since
they are both hyaluronic acids and hydrophilic(water loving). This means that
water is drawn into the area.This is usually a temporary problem that will
resolve with ice, benadryl orally and time. Contact your provider  if the swelling
persists or if you have increased pain.#lipfiller   #lipfillerswelling  #RestylaneSILK

It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can be asymmetrical, and last 1-2 weeks after lip injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Swelling is common and expected after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid filler. Going to the gym may have made the swelling worse, but what you’re experiencing is normal. Ice your lip, keep your head elevated, and avoid strenuous activity until the swelling has subsided, which normally takes anywhere from a few days to two weeks.

Patients typically experience some minor swelling that lasts a day or two. In some cases, there could be excessive bruising especially for patients who bruise more easily than others. Some medications, if taken regularly, can increase the risk of bruising as well (fish oil, aspirin, vitamin e, etc.).Any bruising should be easily masked with make-up.  Results are immediate, so you will notice instant improvement!#RestylaneSILK   #Juvadermforlips   #lipenhancementtreatments

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.

Swelling is normal and can be asymmetric. Keep your head elevated to help ease swelling, particularly when sleeping. You can use a few pillows to prop your head up. You can also use cool, soft, flexible ice packs (or small packs of frozen peas) to keep the swelling down. Place the ice pack on the treated area(s) for 15-20 minutes at a time, 3 or 4 times per day. Do not keep it on for too long to minimize the risk of frostbite (since your lips may be numb you won't be able to feel the cold as much). If it doesn't improve after a week or so, please see your injector for an assessment.

 Asymmetric swelling after injections to achieve lip augmentation is not uncommon.  I would relax about this for a week or two.  Fortunately, if the asymmetry persists and is noticeable to others, judicious use of the enzyme hyaluronidase by your physician should take care of the problem.

Lips are very sensitive so swelling can occur after injection of fillers.  To start suggest no hot liquids until the swelling decreases.  If the asymmetry were to persist after the swelling resolves a hyaluronic acid gel filler can be dissolved with injection of hyaluronidase.  This can reduce or remove the filler.

Hello,
Great question, 
Thank you for the photos, partial and uneven swelling is common after injection. It can last up to two weeks. I recommend waiting the full two weeks to judge the results! If your concern in still there, contact your current cosmetic physician to address the area!
Hope this is helpful!

Thank you for your question. It is common to have some asymmetrical swelling after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can help reduce swelling by applying cold compresses to the treated area. As HA fillers are not permanent you can have them dissolved with an enzyme known hyaluronidase if unhappy with the results. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!
