I always tell my patients to not love their fillerinjections for 2 weeks. Swelling is very common and sometimes immediate. It canlast 3-7 days and a good idea is to use cold compresses. Cold compresses may beused immediately after treatment to reduce swelling only if needed. This may beapplied for 3 minutes, 3 times per day, for up to 3 days. This is best donewith a bag of peas in a zip lock bag. Only apply light pressure to the area butgentle massage might be necessary if the bump is from the filler materialitself. Get Arnica gel if you can find some and apply a few times a day as wellto help treat any swelling. Avoid any blood thinners. Bruising can also last1-2 weeks. I don't recommend hyaluronidase this early and wait a few weeksuntil the swelling has resolved. If it is persistent or you are worried, set upa follow up appointment with your dermatologist.
If you could post a picture both before and after this will be helpful. Very hard to say, it could be swelling, it could be excess product. I suggest you contact your injector specialist. Each injector has their own post Juvederm injector protocols, I always ask my patients to contact me directly should they have any concerns.

Juvederm commonly causes swelling around the lip which usually subsides in 5-7 days. The newer lip filler, Volbella, will cause much less swelling. I highly recommend this product for future lip treatments.Good luck,

I would consider having a small amount of filler in your lips since this is the first time that you will have had your lips injected. If you like the results you can always add more. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
