“Help... lip too big after juvederm”
Juvederm: NOT worth it
Pain: Mild
I always wanted to try to "plump" up my upper lip. My bottom lip has always been "full", but my upper lip was much thinner. I never tried a lip filler, so decided to try it.
I just had my first ever Juvederm injection yesterday in my upper lip. The nurse injected 1 full cc into the upper lip. Is this the recommended amount? I ask because my upper lip is very swollen, too big, and looks abnormal. I am hoping some of this is swelling, and I am trying to be patient. Please tell me what the normal cc amount is for the upper lip, and how much of this is actually swelling. When can I expect the "true" results to show? At this point, I wish I had never done this. I feel I look abnormal.

Trust me.....there is at least 50% swelling in your lip right now. Mine took around 1 week for all the swelling to go away...keep putting ice on it right now for next couple of days. Your lip will always appear larger in the morning. I had mine done now 2 months ago and unfortunately it is just about back to what it looked like before I had it done.

Thanks for the encouragement. You are so right... it IS more swollen in the morning. It is day four now, and the swelling is slowly getting better. If the swelling goes down just a little bit more... I would be very happy. If I do this again, I think I might ask for 1/2 cc at a time. Thanks for the encouragement.
