Pasadena Lip Augmentation doctors

Many aspects of a mid-face lift can be corrected. Exactly what you need can be complex decision.  You can only plan surgery based on an in-person exam.  Also, reading the operative report is crucial.  Was it truly a subperiosteal lift?  Was endotine used and could it be in the wrong position?  Were parts of the facial nerve controlling the lip affected?  Is there just too much swelling and more time is needed?  Bottom line, however, is that most concerns after a midface lift can be addressed by a Facial Plastic surgeon who is familiar with the procedure.

Good luck.

Although uncommon, you can see uneven swelling after lip augmentation with Juvederm or other fillers. Occasionally this is due to some fluid retention within the lip. It can also be some unevenness in the actual Juvederm. I would definitely return to your injecting physician for evaluation. This may be corrected by some light massage or waiting a little longer. If it is from uneven Juvederm, a slight touch-up injection may help. I prefer to wait at least two weeks after an augmentation before evaluating the need for further enhancement.

The idea behind the "Mona Lisa Smile Injection" is to raise the corners of the mouth from a frown into a more youthful, buoyant, smiling position. As we age, losing volume at the corners of the mouth causes the lips to curl downwards on each side. This gives a melancholy and aged appearance. 

The Mona Lisa Smile Injection is performed by using fillers such as Juvederm or Radiesse, depending on your needs. The procedure usually takes just 15 minutes and is performed in the office.
