Answer: Lip swelling Thank you for your question.It is normal for swelling to get worse before it gets better. I would just ice the area a couple times a day, until it resolves.

Answer: Swelling after lip fillers Swelling can be typical and may be asymmetrical. Icing and cold compresses may give improvement. 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.

Answer: Expected Swelling after Lip Augmentation with Injectable Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) -- Wait 2 weeks, see an expert It's too soon to tell what the results will be. You can expect some swelling after lip injections, which can last 1 to 2 weeks. If you'd like, you can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling. If after 2 weeks you're still unhappy with your results, follow up with your physician or see a cosmetic dermatologist for an evaluation. You can always have the treatment reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Normal Swelling after Lip Injections Hello and thank you for your question. This is normal swelling after lip injections. It generally takes about 2 weeks following lip injections for all the swelling and bruising to subside and heal. The lips have a very rich blood supply, and for this reason they tend to swell more than other areas of the face. Swelling can cause lumps, uneven distribution and the loss of definition to your vermilion border and cupids bow. These post procedure symptoms often raise concern for patients, however, I always advise waiting the full two weeks before judging your final results. In the meantime, you should ice intermittently and take Arnica to help with the healing process. If for any reason you are still unhappy with your results at that point, you can have your injector dissolve them with hyaluronidase. Best of luck!
