I recently had Juvederm injected into both my bottom and top lip.It left me with a terrible bruise and one side is larger than the other with a bulge above my lip. It has been 4 days and thought it was maybe just more swollen on one side... But it has not gone away. How long should I wait till it can be corrected? I would not want to re-inject more juvederm as I think they are large enough, is it possible to use Hyaluronidase injections to even out the other side without having to dissolve everything?
Answer: Post Juvederm Swelling
Thank you for your question. I would wait about 2 weeks and get re evaluated by your injector. The swelling and bruising can last up to 2 weeks so its best to wait for everything to settle first. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for an evaluation and for the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Juvederm injection to lips, uneven, bruising Hard to say much about your result without the photos. Sometimes there may be some contour irregularities after injection. This can be due to the product placement, bruising, or other issues. You are very early in your post procedure course. In our office, we usually wait 10 to 14 days before seeing a patient back as we know there will be swelling. Swelling can be present for a while, even longer if there was any bruising. Often contour irregularities can be smoothed out. Please let your well trained, experienced injector know about your concerns.

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm in the lips Thank you for your question. It is very common for the lips to look over corrected or fake the next day. I often tell my patients that this is the "oh my gosh" day. This is due to all the swelling that ensues. It may last a few days with every day showing a decrease in swelling. The more you ice the first day or two, the less swelling you will have. I would wait a few days to a week and then return to your injector if you still have concerns after that. If you like the look of the lips at some point during the swelling reduction, then take a picture. This way you know what volume you like in the lips for the future.If your results remain asymmetric after a couple weeks, then you can consider hyaluronidase to dissolve some of the Juvederm.

Answer: Juvederm Swelling
Four days is a little too early to see the final result particularly if you experienced bad bruising. I recommend giving it a full two weeks after your procedure before deciding either way. At his point I would recommend to continue to wait for any residual swelling to abate itself. Using hyaluronidase is a “shotgun” approach and it would dissolve most if not all the Juvederm. A much more precise technique which may be employed by your doctor is to make a very small ‘knick’ with a needle and express out some of the product to help even out the two sides.
