Is this safe? It seems to work better as I'm not left with any lumps as i normally am with restylane and the Normal juverderm
Answer: Is it normal for my lips to swell so much after lip fillers? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and congratulations on your lip augmentation! Swelling after filler placement into the lips is quite common due to the thin nature of the tissues. This swelling, and your results, will steadily improve over the next 10-14 days. It often takes up to 2 weeks for fillers to soften and the tissues to appear more natural. In the meantime try reducing the swelling by using cold compresses to your lips and elevating your head at night with a couple of extra pillows behind your back. You may want to also consider using Arnica Montana and bromelain as supplements. Hang in there!

Answer: Lip fillers Swelling after lip injections is common and can last up to two weeks. From your photos it appears you are more swollen than is typically seen. Use ice on the area if your injections have been within the last day or two. Contact your injector if you do not see gradual improvement.
