Evolence Lip Injections Look Uneven

Could I repair my uneven lips with Juvederm if I had my lips filled with Evolence? If I would like to switch to Juvederm, how long would I have to wait?

I have lumps from Evolence treatment a month ago and my lips look uneven. I want to repair my lips with Juvederm. I am not sure if it will be alright to use a different filler this time. Any advice you can give me is appreciated.

Evolence Should Not Be Injected in the Lips

Hi Krystal, I am sorry that you have suffered from an injector who has used Evolence in an area where it should not be used. Evolence is not to be used in the lips.

Careful use of Juvederm should be OK

Sorry to hear about your problem. Evolence, derilved from pig collagen, can be tricky to use in the lip. It does not smooth out as well as the hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane. It is a little more prone to leave bumps and fro that reason would not be my choice for the lip. With that said, and since Evolence has already made a home in your lips, I believe Juvederm could be added to make your lips smoother and more even looking. However, the physician should procede with... more
