Is it normal for my lips to swell so much after lip fillers? (Photo)

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!

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.

Some swelling is normal after lip augmentation and can last 1-2 weeks. Excessive swelling is not common of soft tissue fillers to the lips.  You may need the fillers reversed and/or treated with steroids and antihistamines to calm down the inflammation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Having some swelling is common after lip augmentation. However, from your photos I can see that you have excessive swelling, this is not common. You can have this dissolved with hyaluronidase. Also, your doctor can treat this with steroids and antihistamines to calm down the inflammation. I recommend seeing your treating physician for the best treatment plan for you.
