How long does it take for a smooth surface once Volbella has been injected into the area around the mouth?

Question

Douglas Wu, MD · Answer

After lip augmentation, your lips will be a little swollen from the injections. Usually that settles down in a few days or up to two weeks at the most. A lip augmentation with Volbella is subtle, natural and lovely. Consulting with your board-certified dermatologist will help you understand the healing process.

Milan Shah, MD · Answer

After Volbella injections, which are a type of dermal filler commonly used to enhance the lips and smooth fine lines around the mouth, it can take a bit of time for the filler to settle and integrate fully into the surrounding tissue. Here's what you might expect:1. Immediate Results: You may notice some immediate plumping and smoothing effects right after the injections due to the volume added by the filler.2. Initial Swelling: Swelling and potential bruising are common after any injection, including Volbella. This initial swelling can sometimes make the area feel a bit lumpy or uneven, but it usually subsides within a few days.3. Smooth Results: The smoothness of the filler should become more apparent as any swelling resolves and the filler settles into place. This process typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks.4. Final Results: You can expect to see the final results of your Volbella treatment within 2 weeks to a month after the injections. At this point, any residual swelling or minor irregularities should have been resolved, leaving you with smooth and natural-looking results.It's essential to follow your injector's post-treatment instructions carefully to help minimize swelling and ensure optimal results. If you have any concerns about the appearance or feel of the treated area during the healing process, don't hesitate to contact your provider for guidance and reassurance.

It can take up to two weeks for swelling and bruising to completely abate.  Bruising and swelling can happen after injections.  Applying ice right after your procedure should help with swelling.

William Greenberg, MD · Answer

It is normal to have swelling and potentially bruising after Volbella injections around the mouth.  Both should subside within about 2 weeks after injection resulting in the results you were looking for.  Volbella is a very soft filler and works great around the mouth with very natural results.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

It can take up to two weeks for the lips to "smooth out" or not be swollen from any injection.  You can ice or massage if it seems swollen but you can't judge the full effect for up to two weeks.  Volbella is especially nice for the fine areas of the lip lines and under eye area.  Best, Dr. Green
