I got 1.0cc juviderm. To me it looks like the top middle part was filled more than the left and right side. Just wondering if it's swelling and it'll go down or if it would look better filled out more on each side. I got it done early afternoon on Monday, 2 days ago.
Answer: Swelling and Adding More Volume Swelling after dermal fillers is very common. To an area like the lips, some swelling is expected. Waiting at least 2 weeks before assessing whether you need more dermal filler is a good idea. Once swelling subsides more dermal filler could be added if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Swelling/Bruising/Lumpiness (early) from Fillers I always tell my patients to not love their filler injections for 2 weeks. Swelling is very common and sometimes immediate. It can last 3-7 days and a good idea is to use cold compresses. Cold compresses may be used immediately after treatment to reduce swelling only if needed. This may be applied for 3 minutes, 3 times per day, for up to 3 days. This is best done with a bag of peas in a zip lock bag. Only apply light pressure to the area but gentle massage might be necessary if the bump is from the filler material itself. Get Arnica gel if you can find some and apply a few times a day as well to help treat any swelling. Avoid any blood thinners. Bruising can also last 1-2 weeks. I don't recommend hyaluronidase this early and wait a few weeks until the swelling has resolved. If it is persistent or you are worried, set up a follow up appointment with your dermatologist.

Answer: Swelling after filler Hello, and thanks for your question. Post-filler swelling can take 1-2 weeks to fully subside, so it may be early to assess your final result. If you are not pleased with your final result, the product can be dissolved with injection of an enzyme called hyaluronidase. To maximize the likelihood of a favorable outcome, I recommend that you only get treated by a well-trained and experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Hope this opinion is helpful to you. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.

Answer: Lip Swelling from Juvederm Injections There is always swelling from lip injections. I would definitely wait at least two weeks to assess the lips before having anymore product injected or dissolved. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
