I had my lips injected with Juvederm on Thursday morning, I came home and iced all day. They looked pretty that night. I woke up the next morning and they don't look the same. Something is off, and they don't look proportional. Is it possible for swelling/lumps/asymmetry to be worse the day after the procedure? I thought swelling was immediate and subsided. I have stayed away from NSAIDs, no alcohol, no working out, etc. I'm worried and wondering if I need to call my physician.

Answer: Can swelling be worse on the 2nd day after Juvederm lip injections? (photo) Hello and thank you for sharing your question and photos, Swelling for 2 days following injection is normal. If by day 4 you are still seeing significant swelling, I suggest an in-person follow up with your board certified injector. I hope this information helps and I wish you the best of luck.

Answer: How long will i look like a duck It is very normal to have some asymmetry and excessive swelling after you have juvederm injections, especially to the lips. You have about 5 minutes or less after you start injecting juvederm to assess how it is going to look because the swelling starts pretty fast. Sometimes the bruising, swelling and asymmetry will get worse for the first 3 days after the procedure. Experienced plastic surgeons will inject the same amounts in each area unless there is a significant asymmetry preop that they have noted and are trying to correct. I always warn patients that it will seem way to big and irregular at for the first few days but this gets better in time. Most patients will look greatly improved within a few days unless you have significant bruising. If you have significant bruising it may take several weeks to fully resolve. Icing before and after the procedure can help decrease this and if you avoid taking NSAIDS (ie. aspirin, advil) for a week before your procedure this will help also. I usually recommend waiting until 1 month postop to assess a result because things can take a while to settle in after the injections and small wrinkles will continue to improve for up to a month after injection. If you are really worried it is never a bad idea to check in with your providers office. Our nurses are usually pretty used to talking with patients after procedures and helping them out. Best of luck on your recovery.
