Huge lips after 1 syringe of Juvederm. Any suggestions? (photos)

Dear rm007:

Lip swelling immediately after augmentation with fillers is not uncommon.  It is important to use cold compress for the first 1-2 days, 5-10 minutes every 30-60 minutes to assist with quicker reduction of the swelling.  The swelling of the lip should subside by day 7.  Please see your physician for re-assessment 1-2 weeks after the injection.  Best wishes.

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
