Swelling After Lip Fillers

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).

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.

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

Hi there thank you for your query!
There is a good chance that lumps/asymmetry may be due to some post injection swelling / bruising. Wait 7-10 days for this to settle down. If in the off chance this remains, I recommend contacting the practitioner who carried out the procedure for further advice. 
Hope this helps!

This is very likely swelling and should improve. I would see your surgeon ASAP to discuss but have patience it should get better. There are some tricks to reduce swelling. Talk to your surgeon though as some of these vary by technique used to inject.Best of luck,DrC

Thank you for your question. Swelling is extremely common after lip injections. Swelling can last anywhere from a few days to a week. Everybody is different. Swelling will go down over time.

At 48 hours following your lip augmentation procedure, you are still swollen, which is masking your true results. Be patient and wait for the swelling to subside; final results can usually be seen after two weeks. If you are still unhappy with your lips after two weeks, visit your injector again for a follow-up visit to discuss your options. As a last resort, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve your filler.

Restylane SILK can produce swelling in the
lip just as Juvaderm Ultra XC can since they are both hyaluronic acids . Restylane SILK is  hydrophilic(water loving) , so water is drawn into the area with fast
injection, causing exaggerated swelling. 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.

Patients
typically experience some minor swelling that lasts a day or two after lip enhancement injections with Juvaderm Ultra or Restyane Silk  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.).  Using oral Arnica is a simple solution to quickly healing the signs of the injections.  Within 5-7 days, the area will be improved.  Wait for swelling to subside to do any further touch-ups.#Lipaugmentation  #RestylaneSILK   #JuvadermULTRA

It is not unusual to have lip swelling for 24-48 hours after filler injection.  I would give it at least this long before becoming too concerned.
