Answer: Swelling after lip injection Most swelling settles down within a week or two. See your injector if swelling lasts longer than that.In the meantime, you can use cool packs to ease the swelling, placing them on your lips or 15 minute stretches 3-4 times a day. (your lips may be numb at the moment and doing short stretches with the ice pack minimizes the risk of frostbite).

Answer: Lip swelling common 48 hours after dermal lip filler procedure If you liked your lips at the end of your procedure, then you will like your lips once the swelling goes down. Lips tend to swell quite a lot because they are very elastic. Also, sometimes the product that is used can contribute to swelling. Some products tend to swell more than others - Restylane silk is an example of a product that swells more, but also gives beautiful results. I always let my lip patients know about the likelihood of swelling before we do the procedure.Please give it about a week for all swelling to go away before you judge the results. Please be sure to visit a board-certified dermatologist, plastic, or facial plastic physician.

Answer: Difficult to see clearly Thanks for the question and your picture. It is not completely clear in the photo but does seem like you have more volume in your upper lip compared to the lower. This could all just be swelling and will settle down over the next 3-4 days. Most filler swells up by day 2 and then reduces in the initial swelling over the next 3-4 days. Use a cold compress on the lips to help bring down the swelling. Ice cubes will also help. Avoid alcohol. If it is still causing a problem - leave it for about 10 days and then see your practitioner to have the filler dissolved I hope this is of help for youBW
