A: Juvederm in the lips?

By Henry Daniel Sandel IV, MD - Annapolis Facial Plastic Surgeon

Salsera, It has not been that long since your injection, so wait a few more days for all of the swelling to resolve. As an aside, in my experience, Juvederm does not provide an optimal appearance in the lips after the injection. Most people need more definition to their lips, not just fullness... more

A: Still swollen

By Robert M. Jensen, MD - Medford Plastic Surgeon

I would recommend waiting another ten days or so. What you are seeing may be due to swelling and bleeding. The lips are very vascular and can swell quite readily. Also, some of the effects of your dental block might be lingering. If you are still displeased with the result, this can be adjusted... more
