How Long Does Swelling Last After Silicone Microdroplet Injections?

Since Silicone is usually injected in very small amounts, the swelling and bruising is usually from the needle, not the silicone. This usually subsides in several days. In my office, we apply ice to the injected area immediately to help reduce swelling and bruising.

If the swelling becomes greater after several days, you should call your Surgeon to make sure you don't have an infection or other unusual reaction.

When used in small amounts of 0.5 cc or less, there is little or no swelling in the lips after Silicone Treatments  The average number of treatments is 3 separated by at least one month.
