Juvederm Still In Upper Lip After 1 Year, Will It Ever Go Away? What Are My Options?

1 yr ago, I had Juvederm placed-upper lip. After, 1 side was larger & the doctor put the entire remaining half syringe in the other side. Originally, half was used for the entire lip. I looked deformed. Went back & he bruised/broke blood vessels by how hard he "massaged". Have sent repeated emails to please inject hyaluronidase (sp?) & no response. No other doctors want to fix his mistake. What can I do to help it go away on my own? Wondering if he did damage by his "manipulation" technique?

Make an appointment in the office and discuss your concerns.The dr. may not be familiar with hyalurinidase. Then you need to find another doctor to correct the problem. Remember correction of a problem may take more than one procedure and you will pay for each procedure. Also if things do not work the way you... more
