1/2 cc of Volbella in lips five hours ago. Looked pretty normal after, save for some pin pricks on the lips. The lower lip looks OK but the upper lip is now swollen ABOVE my lip line under my nose (had more there for cupid's bow). I look like the dreaded duck! Please, please say this will go away! I've never had Volbella before & was told it attracted less water, less swelling, hence being able to work in your lip lines (smoker's lines, etc). I'm freaking out! Tips, reassurance most appreciated.
Answer: Upper Lip Swelling After Volbella? Swelling Is Normal for 2 Weeks After Volbella Don’t worry; it’s normal that you are swollen after your Volbella treatments. Although Volbella does tend to swell a bit less than other HA fillers, any injection into the lip can result in a couple days to 2 weeks of swelling. After the swelling goes down, you will see the final result. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in lip augmentation will minimize bruising and swelling. Next time, you can ask that the HA filler be administered with cannulas.

Answer: Swelling with Volbella Hello, yes this is normal. Although Volbella is known for less swelling, you still have trauma to the lip. Ice is a key factor in post treatment along with low salt intake. I would give the product 7-14 days to settle, dissolving the product is always an option but its best to give the product time to settle. Follow up with the office that you had your treatment received.

Answer: Upper lip swelling Volbella - 5 hours post Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your current results have caused you concern. Swelling after filler placement into the lips is quite common due to the thin nature of the tissues. This swelling, and your results, will steadily improve over the next 10-14 days, and often less with Volbella. In the meantime try reducing the swelling by using cold compresses to your lips and elevating your head at night with a couple of extra pillows behind your back. You may want to also consider using Arnica Montana and bromelain as supplements. Hang in there!

Answer: Swelling after Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) Swelling is typical after lip injections and can last 1-2 weeks after injections. Icing and cold compresses can give improvement. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
