I injected juvederm in my lips 3 weeks ago (I already have aquamid from before, so the doctor usually inject the juvederm over the aquamid) however, a couple of days later I was extremely red, swollen and in so much pain. I paid THREE visits to the ER, until they realizes that I had lip abscess and a really bad infection. Now, after all 5-6 CC of pus is out on the right side, my lips are extremely uneven. I'm afraid of getting juvederm again, but I don't want to look like this!?
