Just had Juvederm for the first time - are my results normal?

By S354 on 28 May 2011

I just had juvederm for the first time. 2 syringes were used for nasolabial folds and marrionette lines. It has now been 24 hrs and I have had a lump on the lower right side of my mouth since the injection was completed yesterday afternoon. The lump is dime-sized and is not going away-although it was bluish/black yesterday and is normal tone today. I have a small amount of bruising on the left side of my mouth. My face is still very red around the injection sites and make-up won't cover it. I also have dents now around the lower corners of my mouth and pronounced vertical denting above my upper lip (even though no juvederm was placed there). This isn't a normal result right? Do things like this usually go away in a few days or do I need to start trying to get it fixed? I have a job interview in a week and I don't want to go out in public, it is so horribly noticeable (I look scary). It's a weekend and the Dr's office is closed or I would have gone back in today.

Hi S354,

Actually this same question was asked to our doctors in our Q&A in Lumps on Lips After Juvederm. The doctors recommend massaging and time, based on it possibly being swelling. You should check out the other answers, and I'll keep an eye out for other reviews from community members similar to you. Please keep us updated.

Thanks,
