What to expect after hyaluronidase to reduce juvaderm in upper lip? Should I take a risk or wait for it to settle? (Photo)

Asked By:sm1214 in Chicago, IL

It's been a week since I received my juvederm. I am getting hyaluronidase injected to my upper lip tomorrow due to the fact that my upper is bigger than bottom. The middle portion of my top lip protrudes out too much & kind of has a hanging look effect. My doc said he would inject the serum into the center part of my lip where it protrudes to even everything out. What are the side effects after? Will I look lop sided? Is it painful? Will any swelling occur? Anything i should be concerned about?
