Juvederm
How do I know what the lasting result will be after Juvederm in lips?
Swelling after lip injections is very common due to the vascularity of the lips. Swelling and bruising can take up to 2 weeks to fully resolve. Mild tenderness with pursing and firmness is typically within normal limits 4 days after lip filler and likely you still have some swelling present. Most patients should notice slight volume reduction as swelling resolves and the product will continue to soften. I encourage you to allow 2 weeks for full healing and if there are still concerns at that time, follow up with your injector.
Clinical Context
Hyaluronic acid gel attracts water, so lips can look fuller in the first days than the actual filler volume. As swelling settles, that extra plumpness fades and the true shape emerges. Because lips move constantly with talking and eating, early results can look uneven or asymmetric until swelling and tissue settle fully.
