I had a little over 1ml injected into my upper lip 2 weeks ago. At first it was placed more towards the back of my lips. My doctor brought me in 4 days ago to move the filler by squeezing my lips. I asked her if it is normal for my lips to look much bigger in the morning than later in the day, but she said she didn't know how that was possible?

Answer: Lip Swelling After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane -- Reverse With Hyaluronidase Restylane and other HA fillers can cause swelling and this can come in go over the course of having the filler in some people. This is usually an allergy type reaction and often resolve with antihistamines. I suggest reversing the filler if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Lip Augmentation Hi @koriannkendl! Swelling can last up to two weeks. If you are unhappy with the final results, you can dissolve the unwanted filler with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Lip swelling after injections It is not uncommon to have residual swelling 2 weeks after lip injections. Swelling can vary throughout the course of the day and sometimes is more noticeable in the morning, following consumption of salty foods, or if you are retaining fluid in general. If you are concerned about this or it does not seem to be improving, I recommend consulting with your injector.

Answer: Is it normal for my lips to be bigger in the morning? Restylane Hello Koriannkendl,If you are noticing fluctuations with the morning being the time when they are the biggest, then this is residual swelling from the product being injected. The reason is that swelling tends to be pulled downwards from gravity during the day. When you sleep at night, if you sleep flat, then swelling will accumulate at the area of the treatment. Of course having swelling beyond 2 weeks is not very common. But you did say you had a touch up 4 days later with the lips being squeezed which can cause even more swelling than normal. I would recommend you continue to follow up with your injector to express your concerns. If you remain dissatisfied then you can receive an injection that dissolves the filler. I hope this helps and good luck.
