I did lip filling yesterday and it looked totally alright and fine right after the treatment. At night, I started massaging my upper lip thinking to reduce the lumpy area. Unfortunately not long after that, my lips especially the upper one started to swell. I looked horrible and the today the swelling is still there. Is there any quick way to reduce the swelling? Is pineapple juice helpful? Will it go down any sooner? :(

Answer: Swelling After Lip Filler Thank you for your question! Most of the swelling will subside. Continue to ice your lips daily. If by the second week, your lips look the same, then see your injector in order to evaluate whether the filler has been injected too superiorly to the lip border or vermillion border. If this was a hyaluronic acid filler (eg: juvederm, volbella, restylane), some of it can be eliminated with hyaluronidase.

Answer: Lip Swelling after fillers
Swelling and bruising are commonly seen after filler injections. The lips are a sensitive area. Hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero) are hydrophilic- they attract water and cause swelling in the area after injection. Swelling may take several days to improve. Ice and sleeping on two pillows often helps. It's important to contact your dermatologist with any concerns following a filler treatment.
