I can also see that my left side upper lip looks like there is a little more filler or is it just from the swelling ? The plastic surgeons office never rebooked me for a follow up . Should I schedule a follow up appointment?

Answer: Studies have shown that arnica is not effective. I also think it is foolish to instruct patients to apply direct pressure to a filler treatment because there is a risk of moving product. Gentle icing is helpful the first and second day. Don't over do it. It is primarily for your comfort.

Answer: Swelling after Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) You can use arnica. Icing and cold compresses can help also. Yes, you may have swelling, which can be asymmetrical, for 1-2 weeks after injections. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling. Each Doctor's protocol is different for follow-ups, but typically patients schedule a follow-up at 2-3 weeks. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
