No bruising or swelling after 0.5ml lip filler, will it stay this size?

Question

I got 0.5ml juvederm majority in my bottom lip and a small amount to the top, I already had pretty big lips so didn’t want to go to extreme, I’ve had no bruising or swelling 8 hours after procedure will my lips stay this size, I’m starting to wish I had 1ml done

The lips are very sensitive and they usually swell up after lip filler injection. Some patients won't let you inject the full syringe because they feel like it is too big and they regret it later.Yes the size of your lip will go down in the next few days, but you can always get more. Best wishesDr. Shanthala

It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

Hello, Thank you for your question and picture. Congratulations on your treatment! Everyone is a bit different post filler. You may experience a slight reduction but you can always add more. Give it a week or two and then consult with your physician. Good luck!

Swelling after lip injections can take up to two weeks to resolve.  If after that time you still would like more product, return to your injector for further treatment.  You started with a conservative amount of Juvederm, but that is one of the great things about this product.  You can build on it until you have the results you want.

No, it can take up to 2 weeks for final results. I would wait 2 weeks before assessing whether you need a touch-up. Best, Dr. Emer
