Question:I want lip augmentation via injectable fillers. I am most interested in hyaluronic acid fillers. After the injections, will my lips swell and if so, for how long? Once the swelling is gone, will my lips feel soft and natural or does the filler make them somewhat harder?
Answer:Yes, the lips do swell after any injection. The swelling lasts a day or two after hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. Ice after the procedure helps reduce the swelling quicker. The lips are firmer after any filler, but I have not had any complaints about this.
