Is excessive swelling normal 1 day post Permalip? (Photos)

Thank you for your question and picture.  Permalip surgery can cause trauma to the lips therefore making them very sore and swollen.  This appearance is typical after 1 day.  Please use ice packs to help the swelling reduce.  All The Best 

Lip implants can cause significant swelling  that distorts the appearance of your lips. While  your swelling is significant (possibly more than the average) but still within the expected amount for one day post op from lip implants. Swelling will significantly improve 5-7 days after lip implants.  Most people will still have some swelling for weeks to months after their procedure.  Some patients swell much more than others, so don't panic yourself by comparing to others online.  The larger implant size of 5mm tends to swell more than the 4mm size.  Keep icing your lips on and off for the first 24-48 hours.  No need for steroids, just more time to heal.  Best of luck! 

It is quite normal to have a significant amount of swelling after lip implants. Of course, everyone is different. Steroids are not a good idea as they may predispose you to infection. Ice is very helpful for the first one to two days to help decrease the swelling down the road. Give yourself a good 10 days to get over the acute swelling but residual swelling of the remaining 10% or so may take as long as a few months to resolve. If you have any lingering concerns, then I would address this with your surgeon. I wish you the best.
