I had 1ml of juvaderm ultra in my lips on Friday. All was fine until I woke up on Saturday looking like this.Iv been taking paracetamol and icing it most of the day and it's now Sunday and I still don't see much of a change. When should I start to panic ?! I contacted the place and they said it looks like I may of had a little bit of a reaction and to take painkillers and ice it and it will get better. Iv had filler before and I had a small amount of swelling butter not this much.

Answer: Post-Juvederm Hello, Thank you for your question and picture. Swelling is very normal after lip injections. It's best to wait it out a couple of days. Try to avoid salt, alcohol, and exercise until the swelling subsides, these things can increase swelling. If you are having discomfort, or the swelling doesn't subside after a couple of days, it may be best to go back to your doctor. Good luck!

Answer: Is this normal after Juvederm fillers? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Due to the thin tissues of the lips they are prone to significant swelling after injections I know waiting is difficult but allow your results time to mature over the next several days. In the meantime you can minimize the swelling with cold compresses, antiinflammatories, arnica montana, bromelain, and with keeping your head elevated while you sleep with an extra pillow or two behind you back. Hope this helps.
