Can swelling be worse on the 2nd day after Juvederm lip injections? (photo)

Swelling a few days after treatment with Juvederm at the lips is normal and can sometimes take a week to resolve. The swelling can usually be accentuated in the morning after waking up and usually gets better throughout the day as your head is elevated. You should continue to see an improvement, but if you don't, definitely follow up with your injector.

Yes, it's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can be asymmetrical, and last 1-2 weeks after lip injections. 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

Hi there thank you for your query!
There is a good chance that lumps/asymmetry may be due to some post injection swelling / bruising. Wait 7-10 days for this to settle down. If in the off chance this remains, I recommend contacting the practitioner who carried out the procedure for further advice. 
Hope this helps!

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. 

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.  

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.

Thank you for your question. Swelling is a common side effect of lip injections and may take 2 weeks to subside. Apply a cold compress for 10 mins several times a day and sleep with your head slightly elevated. If your swelling lasts longer than 2 weeks contact your injector to discuss your concerns. best. 

It is not uncommon to experience swelling after Juvederm.  This should settle down over the next couple of weeks.  It is hard to be patient, but hang in there!  If you feel that things are not to your liking after waiting a couple of weeks, please seek the advice of your physician.

It is not too unusual that some patients swell significantly after their lips are injected, regardless of which filler is used. Certainly, there might be some fillers that would absorb too much water, but when the right filler is used, such as Juvederm Ultra, or Restylane or Belotero, there may be a large swelling as a result of the injection itself. The lip area may take a few days to resolve this swelling. It may rarely happen, but can happen to a patient that has numerous filler treatments without complications in the past. When this does occur, it may take four days, less or more, to resolve. There are some treatments that the doctor can prescribe, if necessary, to reduce the swelling more quickly, if it is significant.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's

Swelling/bruising after filler is very common and may give you the appearance of an uneven look. However, this may take up to 10-14 days to completely subside and resolve. I usually suggest to my patients to take oral arnica after fillers to speed up the healing process. If after 14 days you feel your lips are uneven, I would suggest seeing your provider for further evaluation.
