Me watching the video ,while my lips look like this 🦆

[@mariagoff4145]

I had for the first time filler in lips, laugh lines, and some Sculptra injections. Day one I looked like Saw without the spirals. Second day was better looked like the Joker. Thanks to your video dysmorphia has been evicted. You’ve always been amazing!

[@shoegirl8186]

This is the second Tim getting lip fillers. This time wow my lips swelled 5x more thank you for this video

[@daughterofsekhmet81]

I got fillers for the 2nd time yesterday. I had moderate swelling the first time, this time I've got two hot dogs on my face lol.

Same. I’m crying at your comment and laughing because I look ridiculous 😳😂

I had the same reaction from last fillers i got and it last two weeks, so embarrasing! 😅

He's one of the best doctors explaining cosmetic procedures. He's succinct and talks very clearly and honestly. I come to see his videos before getting a procedure and he's always spot on.

[@Dani4True]

This is very good to watch!!

[@mandysantarelli3694]

thank you for making this video, it answered all my questions! ive been crying all morning and feel so much better now.

[@simoneleone]

I really appreciated this video as my injector was short on details. I'm surprised you didn't mention bruising at all, though. I'm two weeks out and my bruising is just now almost gone. Regardless, a helpful video. Thank you!

[@II-sr6xn]

Arnica works wonders for bruising!

[@juliasepulveda2248]

Thank you very much is been 5 days today since I got lip fillers and I felt really anxious about the result, because it is quite bigger than expected, and I have so researched about dissolving the parts that look unnatural to me. But your video has gotten me into a calmer mind set since I'll have to wait a little longer to be certain

[@jennyc7033]

How are they now Julia? I’m currently on Day 5 and panicking! Hope you’re feeling less anxious a few days on

@@mariec6056 Don’t panic! Mine still had some swelling until 2 weeks but look great now. My practitioner checked mine by photos and told me to trust the process! Think I just needed more patience 😉 xx

[@juliasepulveda2248]

@@jennyc7033 OMG Jenny , I'm sorry I didn't get back to you . In my case, the doctor had used 2 seringes and some of the acid went up to my moustache area(in Portuguese it's called "buço", but I don't know it in English). So I went to a better doctor who knows how to track the acid using an ultrasound machine. And we did apply hyaluronidase and I'm feeling much better now. Good to hear you're good too🌺

[@Dani4True]

Same here! The shape has actually changed for me some in 5 days. So glad to know this.

[@moniquemartinez5107]

Thank you so much!! Everything you shared helped me feel more comfortable with the healing process!!

[@nadia562010]

I heal very fast. By the end of day 2 swelling went down alot and they started looking and feeling good!

[@ThrewOutMyHalo]

I had mine done last Thursday. I used Versa 1.2ml. I only had topical lidocaine. My NP went in with a candule near the lower corner of each quadrant, went in sideways. The pain was low and felt the same as a shot in the gum by a dentist. The pain only hurt maybe, 4 times. I had 1 small bruise on one corner from the candule. I used arnica gel on it. 4 days it was gone. No straw for a week or kissing. I was afraid it would hurt more and almost backed out, but I was so relieved it didn't hurt like I thought.

[@Oceangirl1234]

Y no kissing

[@Lindseylu96]

This was so informative and really put me at ease, thank you!

[@danjbro]

I am 36 hours in - had my lips filled with cross linked hyaluronic acid by my dentist in Denver. I am a little more swollen this time around than the last time I had the same procedure done in Jan 2019. She enhanced the cupids bow and did a bit near the corners on the top and then I liked my bottom lip so much that she cracked open a second syringe on the house! Thankfully I had a dental block and felt absolutely nothing! And btw...doc has the whitest teeth I have ever seen!

[@babymlo]

I had juvederm filler 4 years ago and still have a hard lump inside my bottom lip. Idk if dissolver would work on that after all this time or if it’s scar tissue ? 😔

[@GB-TX]

What is the timeline with bruising? Not nearly as concerned with swelling. Also - what about bolus or knots of some kind? What massage techniques are best, vs ones that will cause migration?

[@roxysimmons]

Wow! I love how you explain everything.

[@rucing1011]

Thank you so much for this!! It explains things perfectly!

[@alishalomax236]

I’ve had 3 filler dissolves and two lances and I still have the same 3 nodule type lumps on my lip. I’m scared to re fill as the bigger they go the more prominent they will become. Do you have any idea what this could be? They’re not hard but still in certain lights can be seen

[@mirgrant]

this is a perfect explanation video!

[@laurendove_mua]

This video was extremely helpful, thank you!

[@jennifermaria7989]

I received my lip fillers 2 months ago and i got approximately 5 bumps after that and I still have they don’t go away and when I press my lips they are a bit hard and hurting and I was in one of the most expensive doctors. So sad

I had put 0.3ml of a lip filler and 5 days after I have a few bumps I'm a little bit panicked I hope it will go away. Is this normal? Please answer thank you

[@SeasSCape]

Mine were not so much swollen but more like very firm, looked very strange for a few days. Next time, can I massage, would that help?

[@clairesmith4969]

Ahh I’m on day 6 and the upper lip is still too big and a bit asymmetric, I’m hoping it’ll go down more 😩 this calmed my mind a bit though, I might be a 2 week person..

I’m on day 3k and I noticed 2 lumps inside of my bottom lips on the sides that aren’t noticeable but only to me when I touch or lick it! Is this normal? Should I contact my surgeon

[@daughterofsekhmet81]

That could be inflammation from needle trauma, I had a spot like that too and it went down after a couple weeks.

[@dalilabenabdelaziz8613]

It was usefull , thanks alot dr

[@ellejaydee2764]

Thank you!

[@chic3528]

Doctor, is it possible to have an allergy after filler, just because I have a ton of itchiness but very little to no swelling or bruising at all. Should I dissolve it, or is it a normal side effect , the itching is all over the face especially eyelid and I only had it in lips. ?? I am scared, it feels like worms under my skin and also a bit of twitching near eye.

[@AaronW-ww4ds]

Its possible and the fact youve created trauma to the lip so itching will happen its part of healing

[@inshallahdon]

Has anyone lips swelled a month later after getting filler? One side of my lip is extremely swollen but no pain.

[@north.g9800]

I got my fillers 7 days ago. And now one side of my lip is still hard and it hurts every time i touch it. Will this go away? Im so scared 😞

[@blackinkshadow7336]

Hey did it go away? I just got mine and I’m scared lol.

[@leaharaee]

What is normal pain?! I got my lips done today 11:45am and everything was fine until about 8pm. I am experiencing pressure, burning and pain.

[@amanialaa347]

Sorry how did you manage the pain? I am in extreme pain😢😢😢😢

[@leaharaee]

@@amanialaa347 so sorry just seeing this… Benadryl helped somewhat… Tylenol extra strength, ice (off & on) and for some reason the second time I did it, it happened again and I noticed by not adding anything to my lips made the pain less also. I almost forgot… I also took melatonin the 1st time bc I didn’t have Benadryl that time and it made me go to sleep quickly which made everything so much better!!!

[@leaharaee]

@@amanialaa347 can I ask what exactly your experiencing?! Do you have swelling, red, burning etc? If you have frozen popsicles I used one of those and that helped me and I literally just held it there for awhile & when I went to sleep I found what was most comfortable and tried to fall asleep that way ( for me was propped up) People don’t talk about experiencing pain like that and I wish they would. The lady who does mine thinks my body doesn’t like the numbing stuff that comes in her syringes. Also how long after did you become in extreme pain? Is this your first time doing it?! The next day I was completely fine!!!

[@AngelaMcBrayer]

I got mine (1 syringe ) for the first time 4 days ago n im Ngl , I can barely tell a difference . I’m actually upset that I paid over $700 and it’s barely even noticeable . Soooo ig they’re going to get even smaller is this is swelling 😭

I literally had a panic attack and cried and said “I don’t like this can we dissolve it?!” She was like “umm u need to breathe and trust the process” I only got 1 syringe

[@blackinkshadow7336]

Did it go well?

[@anaf4414]

If I knew all this I would never do lip filler

[@amayaknock6657]

Do you tell your patients that fillers are not a biodegradable substance, but rather migrate over time and stay in tissues for many years?
