I told the doctor that I wanted a natural look. My lips look absolutely massive, pictures don't really show it. It's been a day and a half and my lips are tight and sore, and very swollen above my actual lip (which in turn has made my lips lower and further from my nose on my face- almost a sagging look). I hate them, and feel embarrassed to be seen. I have been icing my lips since the procedure. Do you think it the doctor just put in too much filler, or will it most likely go down a lot?
Answer: Juvederm for Lip Augmentation It is most likely that the swelling will continue to go down. If you remain unhappy with the size, there is a medicine that can be injected into the lips to get rid of the Juvederm.

Answer: Swelling/Lip Filler--Lip Augmentation with Fillers (Restylane, Juvederm) or Lip Implant or Fat This is most likely swelling and can take a few weeks to subside. If you're still unhappy with your result you can have it dissolved with hyaluronidase. If you still want a fuller look, but don't want to use fillers, I suggest lip implants or fat. See an expert.

Answer: Swelling after juvederm in the lips Thank you for your question and attaching pictures. Without knowing how many syringes were injected, it is difficult to tell if “too much” was injected. It is normal to have swelling and inflammation after lip injections which it appears is the case. Most of the time it is better within a few days, but some people it takes 7-10 days. If you were my patient I would prescribe prednisone (a steroid) for a day or so. Another good over-the-counter solution is Benadryl. This should take the swelling down more quickly. The cool compresses should help as well. My suggestion would be to contact your injector and see what their protocol is in this situation. If you are really disappointed with your final result, the filler can be dissolved. Be patient and good luck.

Answer: Huge lips after 1 syringe of Juvederm. Any suggestions? Hi AR, it is too early to know what your ultimate result will be. Most likely some of the swelling will go down. I would wait at least 7 days before returning to your doctor. If you do not like your lips after 7 days, you can get the filler reversed by using a product call Hyelenex. Hyelenex can take out some of the Juvederm and make you more happy with your appearance. Limit your exercise. Continue icing your lips, take arnica, and sleep on your back for the next week or so while you are still healing. Good luck, Dr. Downie
