Ive been to this injector before & had great results with Juvaderm & Voluma with no problems and minimal swelling & bruising. The pain is constant, throbbing & sharp. I have swelling inside my mouth around my teeth too! I've taken tylenol & arnica montana oral & topical. I used that for my last filler procedure also. I am using gel ice packs as directed. I'm trying to desperately reduce the swelling. I have a family reunion in 1 week. And I have work in less than 24 hours.

Answer: Lip Swelling After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane -- Reverse With Hyaluronidase
More hyaluronidase injections are needed and i typically then add fractional laser or radiofrequency to improve the wrinkles/swelling. I see this everyday in my practice and am constantly fixing this. I suggest filler injections with cannulas in the future. Best, Dr. Emer.
Some physicians save syringes and others don't. There are studies that show the material has no increased risk of infection if used multiple times. This is not the recommendation of the companies making the fillers. I suggest you trust your treating physician. Best, Dr. Emer.
I am not sure when you had your filler but it seems you had hyaluronidase 2 months ago. You must return to your doctor to assess what is happening.
