I just had Juvederm injections in my lips yesterday afternoon for the first time (at this point it hasn't been 24 hours yet). I have been icing alot but they are very lumpy, uneven and one side of corner of the upper lip is bigger than the other. Is this normal or is it all due to swelling? When should the lumps go away? Did the doctor who did the filler not do a good job?

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm in the lips Thank you for your question. It is very common for the lips to look over corrected, lumpy or fake the next day. I often tell my patients that this is the "oh my gosh" day. This is due to all the swelling that ensues. It may last a few days with every day showing a decrease in swelling. The more you ice the first day or two, the less swelling you will have. I would wait a few days to a week and then return to your injector if you still have concerns after that. If you like the look of the lips at some point during the swelling reduction, then take a picture. This way you know what volume you like in the lips for the future.

Answer: Lip enhancement results It would be best if you book a follow up appointment with your injector in 1-2 weeks, and he/she can massage any residual lumps or bumps at that time. You are still recovering from the treatment and have some swelling as well which tends to subside in a week or two.

Answer: Uneven lips The lips are very vascular and are prone to bruising and swelling. That could be the reason your lips look lumpy. Give your lips a week to settle down and if they are still lumpy see your physician to even out your lips.
