Juvederm
Can swelling be worse on the 2nd day after Juvederm lip injections?
Swelling a few days after treatment with Juvederm at the lips is normal and can sometimes take a week to resolve. The swelling can usually be accentuated in the morning after waking up and usually gets better throughout the day as your head is elevated. You should continue to see an improvement, but if you don't, definitely follow up with your injector.
Clinical Context
Normal post-filler swelling is usually soft, symmetric, and often worse in the morning from fluid pooling overnight, easing as you move around during the day. Signs that need a call to your injector include swelling that's one-sided, unusually firm, increasingly painful, or paired with skin discoloration or texture changes. Bruised skin can look more swollen in photos than it actually feels, so don't rely on pictures alone. The best sign of normal healing is gradual day-to-day improvement, even if it's slow.
