How to reduce the lip filler swelling?

Most swelling resolves in 3-5 days. Minor puffiness may last 2 weeks. Everyone heals differently based on individual factors.
Swelling is a normal inflammatory response. Lips have many blood vessels. Needles cause temporary trauma. Your body sends healing fluids to the area.
Ice, elevation, arnica, and hydration help significantly. However, healing takes natural time.
No! Swelling is temporary. True results are visible after 2 weeks. The final result shows at 4 weeks when the filler settles completely.
Only if Dr Syeda Huma approves. Usually after 48 hours minimum. Massage can help even out filler.
Yes, slight asymmetry during healing is common. Usually evens out as swelling reduces.
Contact Royal Cosmetic Surgery immediately because persistent swelling needs evaluation.
