Hello, I had lip fillers done last year 2017 October. I had no problems - apart, each few month it gets swollen. Now, 12 months passed from when I had it done and tonight it got swollen quite a lot, and the filler inside gets hard now it is getting slowly back to normal. I don’t have allergies, no allergies to food and never had swollen lip before the fillers. Could you please advise me? Thank you

Answer: Swelling after filler injection The swelling dynamics you are describing suggest possible delayed allergic reaction due to filler if there are no other areas with swelling. It is also noted that intermittent high load of sodium and water may exaggerate the volume of the injected area. This appears to be much more noticeable in the over-injected lips. The volume can be reduced with controlled hyaluronidase injection to dissolve part of the filler. There is also a possibility that the intermittent reaction may need to be addressed with steroids. Only a direct examination by your injector will establish the proper intervention. Good luck!

Answer: Delayed swelling I want to answer your question directly. It is not normal to have swelling that’s new twelve months after a treatment. I have heard of this happening with the newer Vycross products Vollure and Volbella. There are interventions you may want to consider but for that I would recc going to someone who is a physician and can assess the issue medically. Best of luck
