I've had my lips done 4 times. I've tried both Restylane and Juvederm. All four times I have swollen up incredibly large. Almost 4 times the normal size of my lip. (Directly after injections my upper lip was still slightly smaller than my bottom) Could this mean I'm allergic?

Answer: Very swollen lips following lip injections of fillers Thank you for sharing your concerns. Swelling following injection of fillers is not unusual. The larger the amount of product injected, the more the swelling. You can have less injected and then see your doctor for addition filler injection a couple of weeks later. Cold compresses and Arnica might be helpful. See an expert for your treatments.Good luck,

Answer: Lip Augmentation with Fillers or Lip Implant or Fat -- Go Slow, Use Cannulas Swelling is common after lip augmentation with fillers and can take 1-2 weeks to subside. It is too early to determine final results. If you are not pleased with your filler, it can be reversed with hyaluronidase, but give it at least two weeks. It is unlikely that you are allergic to the filler, but I suggest using cannulas to reduce swelling. Please seek an expert if you continue to have concerns. Best, Dr. Emer
