marmarpinkDec 19, 2013

hi, I had my lips injected with Juvederm 3 weeks ago. the right side of my upper lip is not symmetric with the left side when talking. it seems as there's a space or something. I revisited the doctor 2 days ago and he re-injected some more Juvederm in the right side. there is no difference. what should I do? should he inject some more?

Thank you for your question. Avoid ASA products, ibuprofen and alcohol for a week prior to injections to reduce bruising. Apply traumeel ointment to the bruise or take arnica montana tablets to help resolve bruises. All the best,

Dear Carrie,Although there is no theoretic problem with having Juvederm injected around your mouth one day before your cataract surgery, you should discuss this with your ophthalmologist to make sure that this is ok.
