7 days ago, while on vacation, I decided to plump up my thin lips a bit. Since then I have been bruised and swollen and look like a cartoon character or blow up doll ....not at all what I was looking for! Bruising has faded a lot, but they are still tender. Is it possible that there is still swelling & will reduce further or has the doctor filled them too much? I feel like a freak and can't face anyone.

Last night when I headed off to bed, my top lip & above it was feeling much flatter, but today I have woken and it's large and hard again....I feel like a duck. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated?!

Sorry to hear that the swelling has persisted. Here are a couple Q&As you might find helpful:

What to Expect from Swelling After Juvederm for Lips?

Here is a review from another community member who wasn't comfortable with the way her lips looked after getting Juvederm. You could reach out to her to ask about her thoughts on dissolving or you could check out our Hyaluronidase community. You will see there is currently a 55% Worth It Rating, so it seems people are pretty split on it.

It is 9 days since filler and my lips are still tender and the top lip swollen and out of proportion. Tonight I have noticed white bumps appearing and suspect it is the Juvederm becoming more noticeable as swelling dissipates. I don't recall the doctor massaging the lips at any time during the process. I did bleed a lot. I have contacted the PS who is performing my rhinoplasty in January, to find out if he will look at it and administer the injection to dissolve the filler, as I can't go vack to the original doctor. People at work have been quite shocked by the change.
