Always had full lips, just wanted to try. 0.4cc juvederm a month ago, results were great and even, thought we could use a bit more on right side (doc asked me to come back to use remaining filler if i wanted to). a week after, went for a touch up. put more on right side,0.6cc on upper lip. Immediately it was lopsided and right side was drooping down. Thought it was swelling so let it go. After 3wks, right side still too full, hangs down on my teeth when I smile, lost my natural smile curve line.

Answer: 3 weeks is an acceptable amount of time to schedule a follow up with the Dr to be assessed.
Lip lines are created over time, it is possible the lines were present before treatment. Perhaps look at before photos and assess if lines are more predominant now than before. If so, you can treat the lines with Botox or superficial filler injections OR have the product dissolved.
Juvederm is a great filler for the lips. Typically it takes one syringe to plump up the lips. You can start with the nose and use the remainder for the lips. If you are satisfied then you wouldn't use the second syringe. You will probably want more than half a syringe in the lips. Please consult...
One syringe should be enough to enhance your lips and still look natural. Volbella is a perfect product for natural looking lips and injects smoothly. Starting with one syringe is always a good recommendation. You can always add more at a later date. Hope this helps.
