How much swelling should I expect when dissolving lip and nasolabial filler?

spacebettyMar 8, 2024
I dislike my filler that I got 3 weeks ago. I have an appt in 2 weeks for a facial balancing consult w possible dissolving. How much swelling will come from the dissolving injections? Similar to my filler injections? I had much swelling for about a week and had to take off work because I had extreme duck lips for days. I would like to prepare and not be caught off guard calling in to work and being forced to hide out for days.
