Is it true that there is less swelling the second time you receive Juvederm injections in the lips?

Question

Someone said that the first time you get lip fillers (specifically juvederm) is significantly more swelling, is this true? Also which lip filler provides the least amount of swelling with the longest results?

Thank you for your question!  Swelling is common regardless of how many times you get treated.  I suggest discussing your concerns with your injector. Otherwise, be sure to see a reputable provider in your area.

Hello! This isn't necessarily true. Every patient reacts differently to different procedures. It truly depends on the person. I hope this helps!

Juvederm and lip injections can often cause swelling to the area.  There is no reason that the second time that you have injections you would have less swelling than the first time.  Please consult an experienced board certified dermatologist who is an expert in cosmetic lip injections for the best results.  Best, Dr. Green

Jacqueline Calkin, MD · Answer

It is not true that swelling decreases with second treatments unless less product and/or fewer needle pokes or cannula passes are needed. Swelling is mostly dependent on how much filler is used and the patient’s innate tendency to swell. Gentle injection technique can help but some people are swellers and even the best technique can result is significant swelling.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

A person can swell just as much or more the 2nd or the third time around when it comes to lip augmentation. Lip augmentation swelling is related to the technique the surgeon uses as well as the patients body's response. My patients usually have no swelling or extremely small amount of swelling for about a day regardless of their first or second time around. Good luck from New York City
