I have had juviderm lip filler done today and only asked for small amount. I really hate how it looks and it's so swollen I'm freaking out! Doesn't look the same both sides either!
Answer: Juvederm lip swelling Thank you for your question. It is common to have swelling and bruising after lip augmentation, which can take up 2 weeks to resolve. You can ice your lips to help resolve swelling and 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. Please follow up with injector in 2 weeks for an evaluation. Best of Luck!

Answer: Excessive swelling of lips after filler Yes it is possible to have lots of swelling, even asymmetric or uneven, usually within the first week after your filler treatment. I would recommend you be patient, take a day or two off from your usual activity, consider taking an oral Arnica supplement (available it health food and vitamin stores) and sleep propped up with extra pillows. It should get gradually better in the next week, and if not you should send a photo to your doctor to discuss. Some physicians will prescribe a small, short course of oral prednisone to people who know they get very swollen after filler injection to their lips, so something to consider for future injections.
