Help! Why is my jaw swollen after Juvederm lip injections? I got one full syringe of Juvederm injected into both lower and upper lips two days ago (on Tuesday afternoon) and now my jaws are swollen. My left side is worse than my right so I look totally disproportionate!
I am a first-timer so I'm very worried as to why this part of my face is swelling if the injections were limited to my lips?
Answer: Swelling after Juvederm is normal Swelling of the jaw after Juvederm injections in the lower lip is normal. This swelling will resolve over the next week. I would recommend ice packs and head elevation in the mean time. If the swelling doesn't improve, your surgeon might also recommend methylprednisolone over 6 days.

Answer: Swollen jaw could be from dental blocks Imog, Relax, swelling will subside. The fact that it is your jaw that is swollen leads me to believe that you had a dental block for your lip anesthesia. If so, the swelling is likely from the anesthetic or bruising associated with it. Apply ice on and off for 10 minutes for 24 hours and sleep with your head elevated for a few days. If this doesn't do the trick, return to your injector for advice. Good luck!

Answer: Mild amount of jaw swelling after Juvederm is normal
Juvederm is an excellent hyaluronic acid based injectable that can be used effectively for facial contouring.
Juvederm is commonly used around the lips, the smile lines, the marionette lines, under deep wrinkles, under deep scars, and even under the eyes.
It is possible that you may have a small amount of swelling from the injection and a small collection of blood. Your best bet is to apply ice to this area. If you continue to have these symptoms return to the dermatologist that performed the injection and let them know of your concerns. They will want to examine you and evaluate the cause of the swelling.
