I finally got my lips done last month and the swelling just would not go down

It took a full 10 days before I could even think about smiling for a photo. Has anyone else had filler that took way longer than expected to settle?

Ugh, that's the worst. Mine took like two weeks to look normal. Try sleeping propped up on an extra pillow, it helps with the swelling.

Friend of mine went through the same thing a few months back. @tylerg30 nailed it, the waiting game is wild these days. She tried the pillow trick but ended up just sleeping sitting up on the couch for a week. Looked like a raccoon for a full ten days, no exaggeration. Even called her doctor worried it was infected, but they just said "normal healing. takes time." It really does just take time, no shortcut around it. Your mileage may vary on the pillow thing but at least it's something to try.

It's like everything these days, even healing comes with a weirdly long wait time.
