Why do I feel like my lip fillers have disappeared? (Photo)

The look for the first two weeks after lip injections is exaggerated due to swelling of the area.  After two weeks, the majority of the swelling will have subsided and you will see the results.  It may be that you need more product to achieve the look you desire.  Since it has been over two weeks since your treatment, now is a safe time to have more injected.

Hi Lola,
Juvederm swells more than any other filler. We get used to the swollen phase but then when it subsides, we feel like it all went away when in reality, its still there but not swollen. Your pictures show a nice result, its always easy to add more as well.  But great question as we get this a lot.

You had swelling after your injection which lasts 1-2 weeks. It could be that a little more filler is needed for the results you want. Other alternatives would be implants or fat. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi there! Lips can stay swollen from injections for a couple weeks’ post injection. It sounds like you really liked the bigger pout and fuller appearance of the lips from the swelling. If that is the case, it may just mean that need to have more filler injected to get the result you desire – of course without looking unnatural! Enjoy!

If the picture to the right is what your lips look like now, I would say that your lips look like they have had augmentation. I would follow up with your injector if you feel they have returned to pre treatment appearance.
