I got 1 syringe (.5ml I believe) of Volbella injected today @noon for my vertical lines above lip and what remained was used in my upper and lower lip. Swelling started 4-5 hrs after. 1. Is this swelling normal? 2. Will the duck lip go away once swelling is gone? 3. Will I be able to smile normally once swelling is gone? I can't show my teeth right now because my upper lip hangs down in the middle.

Answer: Is this normal swelling after Volbella? From the photos, it appears that you have a normal degree of swelling following placement of Volbella. To help manage this, you might want to take an OTC non-sedating antihistamine such as Zyrtec or Allegra from the next few days. That generally keeps swelling at a minimum. You should also reach out to your injector and let them know your concerns.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: Lip Augmentation Hello - thank you for your photos and question. Don't worry, a good amount of swelling is completely normal post injections in the lips/ around the mouth area. .5ml of Volbella is a very small amount of filler - the size of your lips will go down drastically. If after 2 weeks your lips are still not to your liking, you can always go back to your provider and have the filler dissolved.
