Hello - Swelling post dermal filler injection does occur and usually peaks at 24-48 hours. This may affect your smile. The good news is swelling typically is fully resolved by one week and your smile should be back to normal.
After the procedure, there might be pain as the injected substance tends to displace skin tissues inside your cheeks. However, pain should only be moderate and would not last for weeks. Your doctor will include a prescription for pain relief as a part of your post-operative care guidelines.
That said, these injectable treatments take some time to integrate into your tissues, and it's normal for your dermal filler to take up to two weeks to fully settle into your face.

Laughing should not have any effect on your Restylane treatment. If you are concerned about your result, please visit your doctor for assessment.
Signs and symptoms of allergic reactions to cheek fillers include prolonged swelling, pain, and discomfort. It may also cause itchiness and, in very rare cases, anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is the severe allergic reaction to medication or food that leads to shock, skin rashes, and low pulse rate.
When you have had too much filler, then you may appear to have a bulging forehead, an overly pointy and sharp chin, and overly protruding cheekbones. Furthermore, the filler can stretch and weigh down your skin over time, which is known as filler fatigue.
It is not uncommon to experience a small degree of asymmetry immediately post-treatment due to the potential for swelling and bruising. Juvederm can take up to 4 weeks to integrate, so it is best to wait and review in 2-4 weeks with your Injector at which point you will have a better idea of the final result.
The most important thing you need to realize is that lip fillers don't just affect the size of your lips; it can completely alter the dimensions of your smile, which is something a lot of people don't realize and something that isn't mentioned enough.
In recent years, however, there have been many media stories of dermal fillers gone wrong. Filler complications such as necrosis, infection, filler migration, lumps and unnatural results are all possible.
The Results Improve Over Time
Because these injections stimulate your body's production of collagen and elastin, the final results of treatment won't be seen for several weeks. Even as the hyaluronic acid is processed by your body, healthy collagen and elastin grow at a more significant rate.
Generally, any lumps or bumps that appear after fillers will disappear on their own within one to two weeks. Give the treatment a couple of weeks to improve, applying ice regularly.
You shouldn't get cheek filler if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (chestfeeding), or if you have: Allergies to synthetic substances found in some dermal fillers. A bleeding disorder such as hemophilia or thalassemia. Certain autoimmune conditions.
Cheek filler
They are ideal for replacing volume loss, enhancing cheek volume, and can improve the appearance of the lower eyelid by volumising the upper cheek area. We recommend using as little as 1ml per session for an enhanced appearance.
The most common cause of lumps after a filler treatment is swelling and bruising from the injections themselves. These should naturally subside within the first week.
Gummy smile treatment with lip fillers
Another way to fix a gummy smile is by using dermal fillers or lip fillers. By injecting your lips with a dermal filler, we can plump up your upper lips and reduce the amount of gum shown.
Answer: Laugh lines worse after Filler
This may appear worse because there is swelling from the injection. All swelling should subside in about 2 weeks. If after 2 weeks this does not get better, then please see your injector for an evaluation.
The filler can take several weeks to soften and settle into your skin. This means that patients won't see the ultimate results of their treatment immediately. Although individual results will vary, many people achieve the full effect within two weeks after receiving their injections.
In rare cases, facial fillers like Juvederm can migrate to another site of your face within a few days of your injections. This happens when the filler moves before it has fully bonded with your facial tissue.
The use of fillers in the face to achieve a liquid facelift or to increase the size of your cheek bones will leave some damage behind to your face and in the young patient under the age of 35 it will make you look older.
As well as stretching of the skin, excessive use of fillers can result in longer term damage including wrinkling of the lip and disturbance of the attachment of the facial fat pads and some degree of irregularity and ageing of the skin, he explains.
You Should Typically Wait to Use Juvederm Until Your 40s.
Outside of lip enhancement, Dr. Rose usually recommends that you wait to begin Juvederm or any other facial filler treatment until you are in your 40s, or have begun showing the telltale signs of aging.
Although extremely rare, dermal fillers are able to migrate within the skin if consistent and adequate pressure is applied to them. For this reason, we advise patients not to get a facial, massage (on the treated skin), or microdermabrasion for the first two weeks following their filler injections.
They usually last between 6 and 18 months. Most dermal fillers used in the UK contain a natural substance called hyaluronic acid.
Whilst it is somewhat normal to feel small lumps, depending on how thick the filler used was), if they feel one lump in particular, they can gently massage it in between their finger and their thumb, over a period of time, and it will help to “break down” the lump.
