Where should I ask for the dissolver to be placed so that I can have a more natural shape but still keep filler in my lips? Can I just partially dissolve it? How long should I wait? I'm very upset because I had put the money aside for it and cannot afford to pay for another syringe at the moment. Would wydase etc dissolve everything? I still want the filler but a more natural look! It also caused weird lines around my mouth.

Answer: Juvederm and swelling Dear V1988,Juvederm has significant swelling post injection. I would follow up with you plastic surgeon but typically I tell all my patients to wait a full two weeks. Generally at 2 weeks they are happy and glad they didn't dissolve. Dissolving is unpredictable as well.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.

Answer: Too much filler in lips or swelling only? Hello, As the other panel members suggested, you most likely are having expected swelling after treatment - very common. It would be too soon to make a decision as to whether or not you will like the final result. Being that this was a big financial investment, give it at least one more week. Generally speaking, swelling will improve with each passing day with use of Ibuprofen, Benadryl, and leaving the area alone. If these measures and time does not improve the appearance, we suggest addressing your concerns with the practitioner. If your injector is not willing to help you meet your goals, using small increments of Vitrase will help lessen the fullness but retain the benefits you would like to retain. We have much experience in helping patients from outside practices correct their original treatment plan.
