I had juvederm put in my lips Wednesday, 5 days ago, and I still have uneven swelling. I can't tell if it's swelling or product or a hemotoma. Is there a way of knowing or should I wait two full weeks.
Answer: Swelling after juvederm You are pretty asymmetric at this point. Were you bruised post injection? This swelling could represent a small hematoma in the lip. If it is, you should notice gradual improvement every day. If it persists, you will need to see you doctor to have it evened out with either more juvederm or some hyaluronidase.

Answer: Juvederm lip swelling Thank you for your question. It is very common for the lips to look over corrected or fake the next day. I often tell my patients that this is the "oh my gosh" day. This is due to all the swelling that ensues. It may last a few days with every day showing a decrease in swelling. The more you ice the first day or two, the less swelling you will have. I would wait a few days to a week and then return to your injector if you still have concerns after that. If you like the look of the lips at some point during the swelling reduction, then take a picture. This way you know what volume you like in the lips for the future.

Answer: Swelling is common, but you may want to follow up with your injector I would suggest you wait it out for two weeks as the swelling may subside by then. You can use a pack of frozen peas to ease the swelling and keep your head elevated a bit while sleeping.

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm Swelling if very common after lip filler . With swelling you will notice unevenness in the lips which is normal. I would recommend to wait 2 full weeks before your follow up appt as it takes that long for product to settle and swelling to subside.

Answer: Juvederm to lips After having Juvedrem injections to the lips, it is common to have some uneven or lumpy bumpy texture until the product has "settled in". Different injection techniques are more likely than others to have this happen. For right now I would give this a little bit of time. Once the initial swelling has settled then consider having another evaluation to determine the best way to proceed
