Can wrinkles appear during the swelling process (after lip injections)?

Wrinkle Appearing after Filler

 
Hi and thank you for your question! Short answer to your question is yes. You just had the filler injection 3 days ago and I you shouldn’t be worried much about the look at this time. Swelling is very common following filler injection and specially in areas around the mouth and lips, it tends to create undesirable looks such as what you described that will cause panic in many patients. Please allow up to 2 weeks for all the swelling to fully subside. In vast majority of the patients, almost all concerns will go away as all the swelling is gone, but if any concerns are left at that time, please do a follow up with your physician for a reevaluation and revision if needed. At this time, don’t worry much. I hope it helps and good luck!
