How long for swelling to go down after Juvederm? 2 days post lip injections. (photos)

Question

I had 1ml 2 days ago with. Before injection they were ok sized but I had a small lump on the top left corner from my last treatment a year ago. The guy I went to is a surgeon and he assured me they may look wonky as he’s had to put different amounts in to balance out the lump. He didn’t use much in the bottom as he said it was already a good size so focused mainly on the top. they have never swelled this much. He said he’ll see me in a week for check and massage if needed

Swelling can be typical. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for your question. It can take up to 2 weeks for your swelling to fully go down, and for your final result to become apparent following a lip filler treatment. Definitely follow-up with your provider if things have not normalized within that timeframe.

It can take up to two weeks for swelling to resolve after lip injections.  For the first few days it is helpful to keep your head elevated above the level of your heart and to use intermittent ice packs.  Some patients also find using Bromelain helpful.  If after two weeks you still have concerns, return to your injector for an evaluation.

Swelling is common after lip injections, and it can 
take up to 2 weeks for the swelling to subside. Be patient, and if after
 2 weeks you have concerns, meet with your injector to evaluate your 
results.  Hyaluronidase can be injected to reverse the effects of the 
filler.  
Best Wishes,
Dr. Aldo Guerra

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is common to have swelling after lip augmentation. However, it is too early to determine what your final results will be as it takes up to 2 weeks for swelling to resolve. You can help reduce swelling and bruising by applying cold compresses to the treated area. I recommend having a follow up in 2 weeks with your injector for an evaluation and to discuss any concerns you may have. Best of Luck!
