I would wait for the swelling to go down over the next couple of weeks prior to passing judgement on your results. If there is asymmetry at that time, you could have hyaluronidase injected to dissolve the filler.
Please be patient! The lips are a sensitive area and swelling can last up to 2 weeks following injections. It will also take some time, if you've never had filler there before, to get used to the sensation of your 'new' lips. Small disturbances in and around the mouth feel much bigger than they really are (think about how it feels when you get something small stuck in your teeth). So, take some time to let the swelling go completely away and allow yourself to get used to the sensation of having fuller lips. If after 2 weeks, you are still unhappy, see your provider about having the filler dissolved.
Dear farahfaraj:It is not uncommon to see asymmetry and swelling initially after lip fillers. My recommendation is to wait for the the asymmetry and swelling to subside in the next 1-2 weeks and follow up with your physician 2 weeks after filling. All the best.
Hello, and thanks for your question. Post-filler swelling can take 1-2 weeks to fully subside, so it may be early to assess your final result.

To maximize the likelihood of a favorable outcome, I recommend that you only get treated by an expert. Hope this opinion is helpful to you. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.

. Thank you for your question. I have treated a large number of patients who have asymmetry of their smile due to weakness of the DLI muscle. I have found that Botox is the best solution for this. A very small amount of product is required and patient satisfaction is extremely high afterwards.
Thank you for your excellent question. Sorry that you are having some concerns about the duration of your results. Hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers such as Juvederm last 6-8 months when used for lip augmentation due to the continuous movements in that area, as you described. Juvederm can ...
