I got my lips filled with .6ml of Juvederm Ultra yesterday for the first time and I swelled at first but it’s going down now. I also have a large lump in my upper left side of my lip and it’s bruised. Above my lips also bruised, which I find to be unusual, but my med spa has told me it’s normal. I don’t want to have lip filler anymore. I just want to go back to the way I was before ASAP. Definitely regretting it now. Do you think another doctor would dissolve it after only 4 days having passed?

Answer: Hyaluronidase to dissolve filler Yes you can dissolve it immediately but you run the risk of more bruising. The asymmetry you have is more from bleeding than from filler put in incorrectly. I would apply topical arnica and wait a week or so. It will most likely settle down. If it does not I would get it dissolved then.

Answer: Dissolving Lip Filler Hyaluronidase can dissolve filler at any time. However, I agree with the comments below. Lip filler can cause considerable swelling and/or bruising in some patients in the first 48 hours. The swelling can be multifactorial. It can be from bruising, an exaggerated histamine reaction to injection or from the product absorbing water. Small lumps and bumps are common and usually resolve over a period of 10 days to two weeks. I ask my patients to follow up in two weeks to ensure swelling and bumps have resolved to their satisfaction. Arnica gel is helpful to decrease bruising in the lip area which may help you. Antihistamines are also helpful in the first 24-48 hrs in some patients to decrease swelling.
