If you are prone to cold sores whenever you have any
treatment of the lips or surrounding area it may reactivate it. So you always have to inform your provider
about your history so we can give you prophylactic treatment for the outbreak
which usually involves taking a few antiviral pills....
Thank you for your question. I would worry too much about this. However, you can help reduce the swelling by applying cold compresses to the treated area. If your bump persists for more than a week I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation. Best of Luck!
Uneven lip muscles can be partially corrected with guided exercises. Sometimes, judicious treatment with lip fillers can also help the asymmetry. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
