What Do to with Swollen Lip After Massaging a Lump? (photo)

  I agree completely with Dr. Feldman.  STOP MASSAGING.  It is likely that you are doing more harm than good.  Also stop staring at yourself in a mirror.  It is likely that in a few days, things will settle down for you.  If not, an enzyme can be used to remove some of the Juvederm but I'd advise waiting at least a few weeks before doing this.  Good luck!

Thank you for your question. First thing is to stop massaging your lips as you are just causing your lips to swell more. You can use cold compresses to help reduce the swelling. Avoid taking any NSAID’s as they increase swelling and bruising. If this persists after 2 weeks please follow up with the injector. Best of Luck!

I would advise that you use some ice and take some Motrin or Advil to minimize the inflammation. I also use oral steroids such as prednisone for treating post injection swelling.

Since these products are sugar based materials, they tend to attract water and will swell for a few days. Using some steroids for a few days will help wtih the most severe reactions and quickly bring down the swelling

Calm down and do not touch. If there were no lumps when you left the doctor, there should be none now. You probably are swollen and the more you irritate the bigger the problem. You can ice(do not allow ice to contact skin directly, use a cloth etc) 10 minutes at a time if you need. If still having problem in a couple of days, see your doctor. 

Take a deep breath and relax.  The lip often swells after fillers and usually takes a few days to settle down. If concerned, check with your doctor.
