Anyone try to dissolve juviderm injection in lips?
My juviderm lip result is awful. It is too big and mis-shaped. I think it is worse than ever. My lip itches, peels, cracks, and bleeds constantly (and I have large lump(s)). I am so embarrassed. I can't face anyone with what will be left after this is dissolved. ANYONE OUT THERE that can help?

If you are not happy your doctor should be able to inject hylauronidase in to the lip to dissolve the hylauronic acid product and that will help.

Unfortunately, Silicone will not dissolve with any injection. If you are having problems with a Silicone injection, you may need to have the silicone surgically removed.

I've recently had Juviderm injected in my lips. I am unhappy with my duck like appearance. I hear that there is a solutions that can dissolve the filler. Would it be possible to dissolve the unwanted areas only? I really would like to avoid having to go through the entire process of getting the nerve block again. Any assistance is appreciated

Dear Gianna, If you have a small lump, then Hyaluronidase will work to dissolve it. If you have too much material everywhere, then you will probably need to remove all of it and start over. The Hyaluronidase is quite good at removing all the Hyaluronic Acid Filler material that is near the injection point. In my office, we do not use dental blocks any more. We use a custom made topical anesthetic and we mix anesthetic into the material before injecting. By injecting slowly there is VERY little pain. Most of the patients rate the pain as a 1 or 2 out of 10.

Dear Heather, It sounds to me like you have granulomas or scar tissue in your lips. Neither one of those problems will get better with Hyaluronidase. The Hyaluronic Acid fillers would have dissolved years ago. There won't be any Hyaluronic Acid left to dissolve at this point. Without seeing you, I really can't give you any more advice. I would strongly suggest you get a second opinion from a plastic surgeon.

I had juviderm injection on my upper lip for the first time 3 days ago and my lip is very swollen, hard and I have small lumps on the naso labial. I look terrible with this swollen upper lip and it is also very uncomfortable to even talk. I would like to know if this is a normal reaction and how long it will take for the swelling to come down. I would also like to know if there is anything I can do, like putting some ice on it, to speed up the process. If the swelling doesn't come down can it be taken care of with some Hyaluronidase, if so, will I have to get the Juvederm injected again?

Dear Jeanette, What are you are describing sounds like the swelling is from bruising. My concern is that after 3 days it should be getting better. If it is not getting better, an infection would also be possible....and much more serious. Have a doctor look at your lip. If it is not infected, then there is no harm in waiting a few more days to see if the swelling goes away. If the swelling does not go away, then it may be that you have too much Juvederm or a lump of Juvederm which could be treated with Hyaluronidase. If you just have a small lump, then you may not need to be retreated. If there is too much Juvederm, then you may have to start over. Don't guess or wait.....go see a doctor asap. If your lip is infected, you need to be treated immediately.

I was injected with 1cc Juvederm on Sunday 4-27-08 and I am not happy at all. The RN that injected it told me that she could correct my uneven upper lip which she didn't she just made it worse. I had Restylane about 6 months ago and decided to try Juvederm I personally don't see a difference other than the skills of the person injecting the filler. Can this be corrected by using an enzyme in the area that has too much or can I have .25cc of Restylane injected into the area that doesn't have enough as I don't want to pay for 1cc of filler when I won't use that much? Please help! Zoey
