I had one syringe injected in my lips over a week ago and now if feels like I have an empty space in my upper right side of my lip (see picture). Will this even out itself or will I need to have more injected to even it out. I also have tiny white bumps in the same spot? Why is this?

Correction of lip asymmetries after Juvederm

You will need a touch up. it will take a long time for it to even out on its own. The other option is to numb up your lip in the doctors office and aggressively massage it to even it out (sometimes you can still do this at a week. Part of the problem is that there is not enough volume in the lip proper. Most of the filler appearsto be at the lip border (the white roll and the cheek lip junction). I hope this helps!
