Swollen lips after Juvederm. How long until the swelling goes down? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and sharing your photo. The swelling should be greatly diminished within a few days. Cold compresses might hasten recovery. If you find the problem is not improving, then Hyaluronidase can be injected. This will dissolve the Juvederm. I hope you look better quickly.

It is common to get swelling after fillers into the lips. It is not normal to have irregularities or severe swelling. If you are unhappy you should speak to your physician and have the area injected with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that reverses the hyaluronic acid filler. For the next injections, consider Restylane Silk with cannula injection, this technique will limit the pain, swelling or bruising after the filler placement. It often takes up to two weeks for swelling to subside on its own. Find an expert in filler injections for your future treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.

At 2 days most people are near the peak of their swelling. This continue to improve for another 3-5 days. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Dear Nic86,
The swelling normally settles after the first couple of days. You could try a cold compress which may assist with this. The amount that you have had is quite small so this should settle nicely over the next few days. If you are really unhappy with the result at two weeks you could have it dissolved
Hoping you will love your results soon

Dear Nic86,
Hello & thank you for your question. Swelling is a normal experience for most patients, it can take up to 48 hours for initial swelling to go and generally it takes 2 weeks for the swelling to completely subside. Please seek a review appointment with your injector though if this is not the case or should you still have any further concerns.

Hope that helps!
Best Wishes,
Mr. Kambiz Golchin
