How long does swelling last after lip fillers?

Lip swelling after treatments like fillers or injections generally peaks within the first 24 hours, so it’s normal for the lips to look more swollen during this period. Most of the initial swelling subsides within 2 to 3 days, but it can take up to 2 weeks for the lips to fully settle and reveal the final results.

To help reduce swelling, try applying a cold compress gently to the area, avoid salty foods, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for the first few days, and stay hydrated. If any swelling lasts beyond two weeks or if there’s unusual discomfort, it’s best to consult your provider to ensure everything is healing smoothly.
