My upper lip is numb and doesn't even move when I talk. Can i take prednisone? What can I do to shrink? Surgeon says to wait, but I want to wait,as I am an executive in a large company and this is extremely uncomfortable. I asked for MINIMAL enhancement and feel this is excessive. Thanks in advance for guidance.

Answer: Fat grafting to lips Fillers or fat to the lips can cause a lot of swelling. Steroids would only be a temporary fix. Best to follow closely with your surgeon.

Answer: 2 weeks after fat grafting to lips Swelling will vary from person to person after fat grafting, which generally has more swelling as compared to filler injections (ex. Juvederm) to the lips. Yes, prednisone can help reduce swelling. Other methods to reduce facial swelling include keeping your head elevated, drinking plenty of water, avoiding excess salt and processed foods, lymphatic massage, ice, and arnica montana tablets.Best.Dr. Chaboki
