Sounds like you had a lot of filler placed.

Robert M. Freund, MD answers: Juvederm gone in a week?

I had Juvederm injected in the periorbital lines, nasolabial, chin, upper and lower lips. It has been a week and the swelling is gone and so is the Juvederm. Except for some (uneven) fullness in the upper lips, everyone I know said they don't see any difference. Neither do I. What happened? I went to a very well known dermatologist who is supposd to have a lot of experience.

You describe a wide area of your face that was filled. If you used one vial of filler in all those areas, then you can expect to see a mild to minimal improvement in all of the areas treated.
The periorbital areas typically require 2-3 cc for adequate treatment. The lips can take up to 1 cc by themselves and the nasolabial folds typically take .3 to .6cc per side for adequate correction.
You be the judge. Did you have enough filler injected?

If you feel that you did not get a significant effect from the Juvederm, then you probably need more.
