I had my lips injected with one syringe of juvederm volume 4 days ago. Its my first time ever having had them done and I'm really worried that this is the final result, they are somewhat lumpy and look fuller on one side. Could this just be swelling still it is it more likely that they weren't done very well? If it's not just swelling, what is my best option? Having the filler dissolved or seeing another doctor to have them touched up?
Answer: Swelling normal after injections Swelling, redness, discomfort and bruising is common during the first few days following an injection treatment. Most of this settles down within 3 days. Occasionally, the swelling can last up to one week. If the swelling persists after that, please see your injector. In the meantime, you can use cool, soft, flexible ice packs (or small packs of frozen peas) to keep the swelling down. Place the ice pack on the treated area(s) for 15-20 minutes at a time, 3 or 4 times per day. Keep your head elevated and use several pillows at night to help diminish the swelling. All the best.

Answer: What to expect after lip augmentation with Juvederm Juvederm tends to take on a little water initially, which usually settles down in 3-4 days but may last up to 2 weeks to fully resolve. This affinity for water allows it to provide the plumping which gives lips a nice, full look. After 2 weeks it will be possible to much more accurately assess where Juvederm needs to be removed or added to your lip to achieve the best result.

Answer: Is it unusual to have swelling 4 days after lip injections? Swelling is very common after having a filler injected to the lips, it usually takes a full 2 weeks for the product to settle to see your final result. Juvederm Voluma is normally used to help build volume to the mid-face, I would have recommended Juvederm XC for the lips, Contact your medical provider if more then two weeks past and the issue hasn’t resolved.

Answer: Swelling 4 days later It is definitely not unusual to have swelling 4 days post injections! We always tell our patients to wait 2 weeks for lips to fully settle and heal. Swelling can last a while. If it continues after 2 weeks, make an appointment to see your injector for a follow-up.

Answer: Swelling after Lip Augmentation Thank you for your question. No it is not unusual to have some swelling 4 days post-treatment with Juvederm. It is common to have some swelling and bruising after lip augmentation which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can help reduce swelling by applying cold compresses to the treated area. As HA fillers are not permanent you can have them dissolved with hyaluronidase if unhappy with the results. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!
