Two months ago I had juvaderm injected into both lips. Previously, I had my lips enlarged using string. Now I look like the joker when I smile. My smile is very fake looking and noticeable to friends. I would like to be able to remove the juvaderm instead of having to wait for a number of months. I do not smile in pictures anymore because I have a terrible smile now. I do not know how to load on a picture of myself. I hope I can still get answers.
