I wouldn’t worry about lips looking horrible 48 hours after dermal fillers because they can be swollen and bruised. You really have to give it up to a month to see the result. And, certainly the first 2 days you would expect them to be fuller because the products absorb water which will over-correct the lips slightly at first.

Hang in there. Swelling is a common side effect after lip injections, especially within the first 24 to 48 hours, and it will subside. The lips take about 2 weeks to settle with the new product in them. Be patient with your results, because the rate at which people heal and recover varies. Knowing how to reduce swelling prior to your next injection may help avoid it altogether. Icing the lips immediately after injections and repeated sessions of icing on the lips for the first 24 hours can help relieve symptoms quicker. Elevated sleeping the first night is recommended to reduce any swelling in the face and lips.

Dear caz1984:
Lip swelling after augmentation with dermal fillers is not an uncommon occurrence. The swelling should subside within the first week. I would suggest following up with your physician in the next 1-2 weeks. All the best.

It is difficult to determine the results when there is swelling. I would wait a week or two until the swelling subsides to determine the full effect. If you are still unhappy you can have Vitrase injected to dissolve the filler. Please consult an expert for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

I'd give this a few more days. The lips tend to swell quite a bit after injection. I always have my patients "cool their jets" and keep an ice pack on their lips for 10 - 15 minutes immediately after injection. If you still are unhappy a week after injection, ask your doctor about hyaluronidase injection. This enzyme will break down the filler if the filler is hyaluronic acid (HA) and you will be back to your preinjection self very quickly.

Thank you for your question. In my opinion, swelling is not uncommon after injecting fillers to the lip area. Swelling usually peaks in 48 t 72 hours and then starts to go down. I would give it about 2 weeks for things to settle down. Make sure you follow up with your surgeon in 2 weeks.
I hope this helps. Best wishes! (Dr. Salameh, Bowling Green, KY- Plastic Surgeon)

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,
