My lips were injected w/ 1 syringe of Juvederm plus yesterday. Will my lips be much smaller when the swelling goes away? (photo)

If you like the swollen plumped look, then you will need more volume to achieve that.  The swelling typically goes down to the level immediately after your lip injections, but may take a few days to get there.

My experience with Juvederm is that patients will experience a bit of swelling - perhaps an exaggerated result - for a few days.  By the end of a week, it should be down to where it'll stay for a few months.  The time to judge the results is around 5-7 days.

It is common to get swelling after fillers into the lips. It is not normal to have irregularities or severe swelling. If you are unhappy you should speak to your physician and have the area injected with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that reverses the hyaluronic acid filler. For the next injections, consider Restylane Silk with cannula injection, this technique will limit the pain, swelling or bruising after the filler placement. It often takes up to two weeks for swelling to subside on its own. Find an expert in filler injections for your future treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Lip swelling after Juvederm injection is common. Typically, swelling can last several days to weeks. Once the swelling resolves, you can see what your lips will look like and if you are happy with the results.Best of luck

Hi.All lips that are injected with the HA fillers will swell initially. The product loves water. Anything that retains water will make your swelling worse, high salt foods, heavy meals, alcohol.   All these things happen initially. I tend to tell my patients that they will have remorse the next day due to the significant swelling. Then after about 5 days the swelling will go down and your lips, yes, will be smaller, but not by too much. You can add more if desired, but I would wait a good two weeks.
